Turkish delight has been a part of Turkish culture for centuries, originally concocted for the Ottoman sultans. A factory tour provides a fascinating glimpse into the production process, from cooking the sugar and starch to cutting the finished product into delicate cubes and dusting them with powdered sugar. But the real delight comes in the tasting, where you can sample a variety of flavors far beyond the traditional rosewater, including pistachio, pomegranate, lemon, and even chocolate. Discovering the subtle differences between each type and learning about the history and cultural significance of Turkish delight offers a sweet insight into Turkish culinary traditions.
