The most delicious, fresh and soft Turkish delight you have ever tasted!

Turkish delight with mastic flavor and great tradition. A family that came from Pontus to Thessaloniki in 1948 and brought with them the recipe for the traditional oriental Turkish delight which dates from the 1.3th, has its roots in Romania and is followed faithfully to this day. Beyond the pure and quality materials, love, generosity and faith in tradition are the real ingredients of success!

The famous oriental sweet that has its birth in the seraglio and harems of the sultans of the Ottoman Empire, has reached our days to be the traditional sweet that accompanies Greek coffee, preferably the traditionally baked on embers.

COMPONENTS:

Sugar, water, glucose, sedatives and carefully selected aromatic substances, are molded and baked in hot cauldrons, from where they smell rich aromas.

HISTORY "FROM GOLD" BEHIND THE PRODUCT

It was August 1922 when the smoke from the burning waterfront of Smyrna, testified to the opposite islands of the Aegean, the tragedy that unfolded in the lord of the then Asia Minor world. Passing across, those who survived the massacre were able to carry with them beyond the pain and longing for a new life and parts of their culture. The art of Turkish delight, which had already begun timidly since 1822, was one of them.

It's probably the sweetest story ever that even its inspirer, Hadji Bekir, could have imagined. The sultan's confectioner invented the Turkish delight in an attempt to save his head from the angry sultan. And fortunately, in one sense, the sultan broke his tooth from that hard candy, one afternoon in the palace of Constantinople and ran Hatzis to pour water, flour, sugar and rose water into the cauldron to make his mixture. And after mixing it for hours, spread it on a flat surface coated with almond oil. Then he cut it into pieces, sprinkled it with sugar and offered it, trembling with fear to his sultan. It was the moment he sighed in relief when he saw him close his eyes from the pleasure of taste.

Many years have passed since the Turkish delight was unloaded in the Aegean islands. In the course of these, the characteristic dessert of the capital of the Cyclades, Syros, took place. He never left the Greek cafe of the Orthodox monasteries, while he became an integral part of the cultural and social culture of the Greek population. It accompanied not only the daily coffee but also weddings, celebrations and memorials.

LUKUMI AND UNESCO AS AN ELEMENT OF MATERIAL CULTURAL HERITAGE

It was August 2009 again, when UNESCO included the Turkish delight in its list of intangible cultural heritage. There, he described this small, snowy treasure as "a cake made from spring water, sugar and starch." Then we can add aroma, color and nuts. Thus, the variety of flavors emerges and thus finds its special role in all aspects of the life of the Greek.
