Traditional Candies of Konya

Located at the heart of Anatolia, Konya is one of the most distinctive cities in Turkish culture, renowned for a rich culinary tradition that spans from the Seljuk palace kitchens to Ottoman heritage. When thinking of Konya’s cuisine, iconic savory dishes like fırın kebabı (oven-roasted lamb), etli ekmek (thin flatbread with minced meat), and bamya çorbası (okra soup) immediately come to mind; however, the crowning glory of this gastronomic experience is the centuries-old confectionery and dessert culture.

As the Kevser Şekerleme family, we preserve this sweet heritage of Konya with the same care as day one. By producing traditional recipes in our modern, hygienic facilities, we bring these authentic tastes to flavor enthusiasts across Turkey and around the world.

Sweet Symbols of Konya’s Culinary Culture

In Konya, dessert is not merely a treat—it is an expression of hospitality, friendship, and love. The spirit of tolerance and sharing rooted in the Mevlevi tradition directly informs the city's confectionery craft. The traditional and contemporary delicacies we produce under the Kevser Şekerleme roof serve as the most vibrant ambassadors of this culture.

1. The Symbol of Purity and Lightness: Mevlana Candy (Mevlana Şekeri)

When Konya is mentioned, the first local delicacy that comes to mind is undoubtedly Mevlana candy. With its snow-white appearance, signature aroma, and melt-in-your-mouth texture, Mevlana candy is an indispensable part of visits to Konya and festive celebrations. Crafted by our master confectioners using traditional methods, this delicacy adds an elegant touch to tea and coffee hours.

2. A Timeless Classic: Hard Candy (Akide Şekeri)

Dating back to the Ottoman imperial kitchens, akide candy is prepared using precise boiling techniques that require patience and mastery.
