Turkish Delight has long been the jewel in Britain’s festive crown — soft, fragrant cubes of joy that whisper nostalgia and indulgence in equal measure. And at Monmore Confectionery, we’re not just bringing it back — we’re redefining what true Gourmet Turkish Delight means for today’s sweet sellers, gift resellers and confectionery connoisseurs alike.

The confection that conquered centuries

Invented in Istanbul’s royal kitchens more than two hundred years ago, lokum — as it’s known in Turkey — travelled from the Ottoman Empire to Victorian parlours and finally into British Christmas stockings. Its fame was sealed the moment a certain literary lion offered a box to a wide-eyed Edmund; ever since, Turkish Delight has been shorthand for luxury and nostalgia wrapped in sugar.

Fast-forward to today, and Monmore Confectionery keeps that heritage alive — sourcing authentic recipes, ensuring consistent quality, and packaging it perfectly for both retail and gifting audiences.

Why Turkish Delight thrives at Christmas (and why you should stock it now)

Every October, the same story unfolds: the air cools, the shelves turn festive, and customers begin hunting for something traditional yet refined. Turkish Delight answers that brief beautifully. It’s vegetarian-friendly, often gelatine-free, and carries an aura of old-world luxury that sells itself. For gift resellers, independent sweet shops, and convenience stores, it’s the seasonal staple that moves — and moves fast.

Pair it with your Christmas Sweets displays for the perfect cross-sell. Presentation matters: glass jars, boxes tied with ribbon, or simple kraft wraps — each one transforms a modest sweet into a heartfelt gift.
