Liberty Orchards is the largest maker of "Turkish Delight" style confections in the United States, though we market it with a variety of brand names. Turkish Delight is the best-loved confection of the eastern Mediterranean. While it's most closely associated with Turkey, it's equally popular in Greece, Armenia, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and other countries in that region. The "locals" call it "Locoum" or "Rahat Locoum" or "Loukoumi". It was the British who came up with the term "Turkish Delight" to improve its marketability in English-speaking countries. Our founders, both Armenian immigrants from Turkey, brought with them to America a wonderful recipe for "locoum" that eventually led to the creation of our first product, "Aplets". Today, 93 years later, we offer a wide variety of high-quality, locoum-style candies to suit every taste.
