Meşhur Safranbolu Lokumcusu was founded in 1977 with the mission of preserving the traditional Turkish Delight heritage inherited from the Ottoman era and passing this unique taste on to future generations. Since its establishment, our company has remained committed to quality and authenticity, successfully introducing Safranbolu Turkish Delight both domestically and internationally, and earning widespread appreciation.

Entering a corporate transformation in 1995, our company is now managed by the second generation and continues to grow through both retail and export operations. By combining traditional production methods with modern quality standards, Meşhur Safranbolu Lokumcusu has expanded its product range, offering not only Turkish Delight but also a variety of regional delicacies.

About Turkish Delight

Turkish Delight is a traditional confection with a rich history dating back to the 15th century, becoming especially popular during the Ottoman era. Known as “rahat-ul hulkum,” meaning “comfort for the throat,” this unique sweet was later introduced to Europe in the 19th century under the name “Turkish Delight.”

Originally made with honey or molasses, Turkish Delight achieved its modern texture and flavor with the introduction of refined sugar and starch in the 19th century. Today, it remains one of the most beloved sweets of Turkish cuisine, enriched with a variety of flavors and ingredients.
