Antep Pistachio Turkish Delight - Creamy Pistachio-Filled Lokum

This is the pistachio lover's Turkish delight: soft lokum wrapped around a smooth, creamy pistachio centre, then rolled generously in crushed Antep pistachio so every piece is bright green inside and out. Cut one open and you see the pale, melt-in-the-mouth pistachio filling that gives this style its nickname, the "pistachio bomb" (Antep bombasi). It is rich without being heavy, and the crushed-nut coating adds a gentle bite against the soft centre.

The pistachios come from Gaziantep, known simply as Antep in southeastern Turkey. Antep pistachios are prized worldwide for their deep colour and concentrated flavour, and in 2013 they were granted Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status by the European Union, the same protection given to products tied to a specific region and tradition. That is the difference you taste here: real Antep pistachio, not a generic green coating.

It works for a lot of moments. Serve it alongside Turkish coffee or black tea, set it out for guests, or pack it as a gift, including during Ramadan and Eid when sweets are shared. It also travels well, which makes it easy to share or give as a gift.

Available sizes: 250 g, 500 g, 1000 g (1 kg), and a 3 kg bulk option for gifting, events, or stocking up. Larger sizes lower the price per gram, so the 1 kg and 3 kg are the value picks if you go through it quickly or want to share.

Good to know: Contains pistachios (tree nuts). It may also contain traces of other tree nuts, milk, or sesame depending on the batch, so anyone with a nut or dairy allergy should take care. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and reseal after opening to keep the lokum soft.

Whether you call it pistachio lokum, creamy pistachio Turkish delight, or Antep bombasi, this is one of the most generous, nut-forward delights we offer.
