Cinnamon Turkish delight from Hacı Bekir (Şekerci Hacı Bekir), the Istanbul confectioner making lokum since 1777. Bekir Efendi is widely credited with developing the modern Turkish delight we know today, replacing flour with sugar and starch to create the soft, jelly-like texture that made lokum famous well beyond Turkey.
Each piece is a tender cube of cinnamon-flavoured lokum, dusted in powdered sugar and starch and tinted a warm reddish-brown by the spice. The flavour is built on the classic Hacı Bekir base of sugar, starch and water, finished with the gentle, aromatic warmth of cinnamon. The result is balanced rather than heavy: smooth, lightly spiced and not overly sweet, with the kind of soft, yielding bite a good lokum is judged by.
What is inside:
- 200 g box of cinnamon Turkish delight (tarçınlı lokum)
- Soft, smooth, delicately spiced cubes dusted with powdered sugar
- Made by Hacı Bekir using its long-standing lokum formula
Dietary notes: Hacı Bekir lokum is made with pure sugar and starch, without gelatin, which makes this cinnamon variety vegan and gluten-free.
How to enjoy it: Turkish delight is traditionally served at the end of a meal alongside coffee. Cinnamon lokum pairs especially well with a small cup of strong Turkish coffee or a glass of black tea, where the bitterness of the drink balances the sweetness of the candy. It is just as at home on a dessert platter or a mezze of sweets shared with guests.
The 200 g box makes a ready-to-give present for anyone who enjoys authentic Turkish sweets, Istanbul flavours, or a classic, spice-warmed take on lokum. Delivered to your door, it lets you share a piece of Istanbul confectionery history.
