Galil Rose Turkish Delight Lokum 500g (1.1lb)

Galil Rose Turkish Delight Lokum 500g is the classic rosewater-flavoured lokum in the large household format — the pale pink, lightly perfumed Turkish delight that is the archetype of the entire lokum category, produced from starch, sugar, rosewater, and nothing else, dusted in icing sugar, in the 500g jar that sustains a household through weeks of daily coffee-table service. Galil is a Mediterranean food importer serving the North American kosher and specialty food market, and their rose lokum follows the standard Turkish recipe for gülü lokum — the rose version that is both the most traditional and the most universally recognised form of the confection, sold in every Turkish, Greek, Middle Eastern, and Balkan shop that carries lokum. Rose lokum in the former-Ottoman world is the sweet most associated with hospitality, celebration, and the afternoon guest: it appears at every Turkish, Greek, Serbian, and Bosnian coffee table as the piece offered alongside the small cup of strong coffee, at weddings and Ramadan as the ceremonial sweet, and in gift boxes as the confection that travels well and requires no preparation. Set in a bowl beside Turkish coffee or tea as the classic rose-scented guest sweet, include in a holiday or celebration spread, or give in the large 500g jar as the lokum gift that serves any gathering generously.
