Delight (Lokum)
Turkish delight, or lokum, is a soft, gel-based confection that originated in Ottoman-era Turkey, traditionally flavored with rosewater, citrus, or nuts and dusted in powdered sugar. It isn’t a Persian sweet by origin, but it’s become a fixture on Iranian tea tables and gift trays for generations, almost always served the way you’ll find it here: alongside pistachios and other nuts rather than on its own.
Why our lokum comes paired with nuts
Every box in this collection reflects that pairing rather than treating lokum as a standalone item. The Shahpasand Royal Gift Box (€109) combines 680g of lokum with 300g of luxury mixed nuts in one presentation box, while the Royal Lokum Gift Box by Lobleh (€79) pairs 600g of nut-and-coconut lokum cubes for a lighter option.
For a lokum-only gift, the Golden Lokum Gift Box (€68) holds 600g of nut-filled cubes in a rectangular pack, and the Lobleh Lokum VIP Edition (€85) presents 24 individually cut cubes in a decorative box built specifically for gifting. A smaller 40-Piece Gift Box by Lobleh (€75) rounds out the range for those wanting a more modest quantity without losing the presentation.
Flavor and texture
Rosewater remains the most traditional flavor, with a floral sweetness that mellows once paired with the toasted, slightly salty edge of pistachio or mixed nuts. Fruit-based versions built around orange, pomegranate or apricot lean tarter and lighter, closer to a palate cleanser than a dense dessert. The texture across all of them stays consistent: a soft, chewy gel that holds its shape when cut into cubes, coated lightly in starch or sugar so the pieces don’t stick together in transit.
