Double-Roasted Pistachio Turkish Delight (1 kg)

The definitive Istanbul confectioner since 1864 — pistachio-packed lokum at the source, half the delivered US price and infinitely fresher.

Price: 2000 TRY (Hafız Mustafa pistachio duble lokum ~2,000 TRY/kg; mixed gift boxes 1,500-2,500 TRY/kg depending on nut ratio (2026 menu listings, ~43 USD).)

Where to buy: Hafız Mustafa branches in Sirkeci (the 1864 original), Sultanahmet and Taksim — same fixed prices at all branches, free tastings

• Price scales with pistachio content — plain rose lokum is a third of the price of double-pistachio; taste before you buy, it's expected
• Vacuum-sealed boxes last ~6 months; loose bazaar lokum lasts weeks — for gifts buy sealed
• Grand Bazaar stalls sell inferior starch-heavy lokum at similar 'tourist' prices; the famous houses are genuinely better value
• Fine for US customs as commercially packaged food; declare food items on your arrival form
