It is often consumed with dishes without juices, such as pilav and makarna, just like cacık. It is especially consumed during Ramadan, as a tradition.[2]
Differently from kompot, hoşaf is always served cold. Whereas, the similar, and more universal, fresh fruit compote is called "komposto" in Turkish.
