Akide Candies: A Sweet Tradition Preserved by Cafer Erol

During the Ottoman era, sugar was transformed into a distinct delicacy, now known as Akide candy. Symbolizing loyalty, Akide was traditionally presented by Janissaries to the Imperial Council as a mark of allegiance to the Sultan. This rich tradition continues at Cafer Erol, where vibrant varieties of Akide candies are elegantly displayed in signature brass-lidded jars.

What sets Cafer Erol Akide Candies apart is the meticulous craftsmanship behind every piece. Using premium sugar, nuts, and fruits sourced from select regions, and a touch of honey for added flavor, these candies are created with the finest ingredients. Prepared with century-old techniques, the sugar is boiled in large copper cauldrons, blended with ingredients like hazelnuts or pistachios, and kneaded on marble counters to ensure perfection.

By combining traditional recipes with modern tastes, Cafer Erol preserves the history and artistry of this iconic Turkish sweet, creating flavors that bridge the past and present. Every bite of Cafer Erol Akide offers a timeless experience, uniting the old-world charm with contemporary enjoyment.
