What Sets Ayasofya Lokum Apart

In our 1,000 m² state-of-the-art facility in Istanbul Çatalca, we reject the shortcuts of mass production in favor of century-old cauldron discipline.

100% Crystal Beet Sugar

Cheap industrial corn syrup and glucose are strictly forbidden in our facility. Our delights do not irritate the throat, cause no heartburn, and remain naturally soft for months.

3 Hours in Copper Cauldrons

Instead of 30-minute high-pressure flash cookers, our harç is gently simmered with continuous mechanical stirring in hammered copper kettles, producing authentic springy elasticity.

Zero Gelatin & Naturally Vegan

Animal collagen, bone, and pig gelatin are never used. Our gel strength comes exclusively from pure botanical cornstarch, making our confectionery naturally vegan and certified halal.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Collection

Learn more about our purity standards, shelf life, and international ordering.

Does your Turkish delight contain glucose syrup or artificial sweeteners? ▼

No, absolutely not. All varieties produced under Ayasofya Lokum exclusively contain 100% domestic crystal sugar beet. Glucose syrup, high-fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, and synthetic thickeners are never permitted in our recipes.

How should Turkish delight be stored? Should it be refrigerated? ▼

Authentic Turkish delight must never be refrigerated! Cold, humid air causes starch retrogradation, making the texture rock-hard, and liquefies the protective powdered sugar. Keep it in an airtight jar at 18–22°C (64–72°F) away from direct sunlight. Read our full Turkish delight storage guide.

Can we place corporate gift or bulk wholesale export orders? ▼

Yes. With our modern 1,000 m² Istanbul production facility and 5-ton daily artisan capacity (scalable to 10 tons), we fulfill both domestic and international export orders. We provide custom gold-embossed branded packaging for corporate partners. Contact us via our inquiry form or WhatsApp line.

Is your confectionery gluten-free and suitable for coeliacs? ▼

Traditional Turkish delight contains no wheat flour; the sole gelling agent is pure botanical cornstarch. Hence, our confections are naturally gluten-free. Explore our comprehensive vegan and gluten-free delight guide.
