Turkish delight (lokum) in three classic flavours - rose, mint and lemon - hand-rolled into soft spiral pieces by Afyon Lokum Atolyesi in Afyonkarahisar, the Turkish city most associated with this confection. Each box holds 150g of fresh, chewy lokum dusted lightly so the spirals stay separate.
Lokum is built on a simple, time-honoured base: a slow-cooked gel of sugar and cornstarch, set with a little lemon juice that keeps the texture tender and clear. Onto that base go the three flavours in this assortment - delicate rosewater, cool mint, and bright, citrusy lemon - so each piece tastes distinctly of itself rather than blending into one. The result is the yielding, just-chewy bite that gives Turkish delight its name: the word lokum comes from the Arabic luqma, a "mouthful," and the older name rahat al-hulqum means "comfort of the throat."
The rolled spiral cut is a nice change from the usual cubes - it shows the colour of each flavour and makes the pieces easy to share. Serve them the traditional way alongside a small cup of Turkish coffee or a glass of black tea, where the sweetness balances the bitterness, or set the box out as a light dessert after a meal.
Presented in a tidy 150g box, it works as a self-contained gift, a hostess offering, or a small taste of Turkey to keep at home. A natural pick for Ramadan and Eid tables, but just as fitting any day of the year.
