Koska: the Turkish delight in every Turkish home, since 1907

Koska is Turkey's best-known everyday brand of Turkish delight (lokum) and tahini halva. The family business began in Denizli in the early 1900s; Hacı Emin Bey's son opened the first Koska halva shop in Istanbul in 1931, the Topkapı factory added lokum, jam and nougat in 1974, and the fourth generation runs the company today from its Istanbul plant. In Turkey, Koska is not the gift-shop tin — it is the box of lokum on the supermarket shelf and the halva at breakfast. That is exactly why we carry it: customers who know Turkey ask for it by name.

How to order Koska abroad without paying more for shipping than for lokum

International shipping is priced by weight band, so a single 250 g box is the most expensive way to buy Koska. Three boxes ship for little more than one, and every Koska product on TurkishTaste.com has a three-box option at a lower per-box price. The best value of all is to add Koska to a parcel you are already sending — a few boxes next to a Karaköy Güllüoğlu baklava box or a Hafız Mustafa tin usually do not change the shipping fee. The checkout shows the exact fee before you pay.

Shelf life and shipping

Koska Turkish delight keeps for 12 months sealed at room temperature and tahini halva for months as well, so both travel to any destination we serve without freshness concerns. Orders ship from Istanbul with DHL Express and a tracking number; destinations, delivery times and fees are on our Delivery & Returns page and confirmed at checkout.

Koska or the gift-shop houses?

Koska is the everyday lokum; Ali Muhiddin Hacı Bekir (since 1777) and Hafız Mustafa 1864 are the historic gift houses, hand-cut and sold in presentation boxes. If the box is a present, start with Hacı Bekir or Hafız Mustafa; if it is for your own cupboard, or you want chocolate-coated lokum, Koska is the one Turks buy. TurkishTaste.com is an independent Istanbul retailer and not affiliated with Koska, whose own website is koska.com.tr; compare every lokum we carry in the Turkish delight collection.

In Turkey, Koska is the lokum and halva bought at the supermarket rather than the gift-shop tin.

How long does Koska Turkish delight keep?

Twelve months from production, sealed, at room temperature. Once opened, keep the box closed and dry; lokum does not need refrigeration.

Koska is the everyday, supermarket lokum in Turkey: consistent, affordable, in flavoured and chocolate-coated versions, from $9.90. Hacı Bekir (since 1777) and Hafız Mustafa (since 1864) are the gift-shop houses, hand-cut and sold in presentation boxes. For a present choose Hacı Bekir or Hafız Mustafa; for the family cupboard, Koska.
