What does spearmint Turkish delight taste like?

It is a soft, chewy sugar gel flavored with spearmint, so it tastes cool and herbal rather than like a mint candy. The sweetness is strong, with the mint coming through as aroma and a clean finish.

Is it suitable for vegans and gluten-free diets?

Yes. It is made with beet sugar and contains no dairy, gluten or gelatin, so it fits vegan and gluten-free diets.

How should I store and serve it?

Keep the box sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat and moisture. Serve the cubes at room temperature with coffee or tea; they are sticky, so a small fork or tongs helps.

It works as a gift for someone who likes mint or wants a vegan sweet, and the box is presentable. If the recipient expects a classic rose or pistachio assortment, choose a mixed box instead.

How does it differ from supermarket Turkish delight?

It uses pure beet sugar instead of glucose syrup, which gives a cleaner sweetness and a firmer, chewier set. The spearmint flavor is also less common than the standard rose and plain versions.

Our take on the Sekerci Cafer Erol Spearmint Turkish Delight

Sekerci Cafer Erol Spearmint Turkish Delight is a boxed lokum from an Istanbul confectioner founded in 1807. The cubes are made with pure beet sugar rather than glucose syrup, which gives the soft, chewy set that defines good lokum, and they are flavored with spearmint instead of the usual rose or plain sugar. The mint reads as a cool palate cleanser next to coffee or tea, and the sweets are vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free, so they suit mixed tables. Against mass-market Turkish delight, the draw is the firm, clean-textured chew and the mint twist; the trade-off is that mint is a polarizing flavor and the box is a single flavor rather than an assortment.
