On the
island of Cyprus in the Eastern Mediterranean there is a garden
with a natural spring.
The native Greeks call this spring Yeroskipos, which means the
spring of the holy garden.
Legend
has it that it was with these natural spring waters that Aphrodite
( Goddess of love) skilfully created a most enticing
dessert which she shared with her many lovers, for , it seemed to
posses wonderful powers of enchantment.
As the
potency of this delicacy became known and desired all over the
land, the recipe, which Aphrodite had kept secret, was soon
discovered by the Sultans of Turkey and shared with their harems.
Centuries
later this legendary APHRODISIAC continues to be made by hand
following Aphrodite's original recipe. It is also made with the
same natural waters from the Holy garden located near the seashore
where Aphrodite was born.
The
Greeks call it Lokumi while the Turks named it Rahat Lokum.
Here in America this lovely delicacy will be remembered always as
APHRODITE'S DELIGHT.
