Lokum has been known in Anatolia since the 15th century and had spread within the borders of the Ottoman Empire, especially in the 17th century. In the Ottoman Empire, Turkish delight, known as "rahat-ül hulkum" (throat relaxing), began to be recognized in Europe in the 19th century under the name 'Turkish Delight' through a British traveller. Earlier, it was known as 'Kelle sugar' in the 19th century, and was made with honey or molasses and flour mixture. Thanks to the innovation of refined sugar and especially starch, which was brought to the country, has given Turkish Delight its current taste and formula. Meşhur Safranbolu Lokumcusu has never changed its quality of production, continued to manufacture Turkish delight in Safranbolu style and has become a boutique brand in the process. All its products are manufactured with natural nuts, dried fruits, and extracts and for the products that require dying, only organic food dyes are used. There are absolutely no chemical or synthetic thickeners, preservatives, flavour increasing aromas, glucose/corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, and food colouring substances in any of its products.
