Rose and lemon Turkish delight made by Ali Muhiddin Hacı Bekir, the Istanbul confectioner founded in 1777 and appointed Chief Confectioner to the Ottoman Palace under Sultan Mahmud II. This is classic lokum: the floral perfume of rose paired with bright, tart lemon, set as soft cubes that melt slowly on the tongue.
Hacı Bekir is the name most often searched for behind authentic rose lokum, and this box keeps to its historic method. The texture is the giveaway of real Turkish delight, firmed with corn starch rather than gelatin, so the bite is springy and tender at once. A light dusting keeps the cubes from sticking and gives them their soft, matte finish.
Each 200 g box layers two flavours. The rose cubes carry a true rose-petal aroma; the lemon cubes are clean and citrusy, a refreshing counterpoint. According to the maker's ingredient panel, the recipe is built on sugar, corn starch and water with real lemon (2.5%) and rose leaven (0.5% — rose petal and sugar), cream of tartar (E336) for acidity, and natural plant colour. There is no gelatin and no dairy in the recipe, and the maker lists this lokum as gluten-free, vegan and halal.
Serve it the Turkish way: a cube or two alongside strong Turkish coffee or a glass of black tea, where the sweetness offsets the bitterness perfectly. It works equally well after dinner, set out for guests, or packed into a gift. At its modest size, the 200 g box is an easy first taste of the rose-and-lemon lokum line, and a ready-made present that needs no wrapping.
BTurkish delivers authentic Turkish food to your door, with fast delivery to the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and beyond. Store in a cool, dry place and reseal after opening to keep the cubes soft.
