Turkish Delight Mix - 9 oz | Luxury Coatings of Pomegranate, Pistachio, Coconut, Kataifi & Rose | Authentic Lokum Sweet Assortment in a Beautiful Gift Tin | Handmade & Individually Wrapped

I only know of Turkish Delight from the Chronicles of Narnia (some of you do too!) I have always wondered what was so good about them, so by chance I came across these and gave them a try. They are good, pretty, colorful and tasty. They are not "creamy, light and soft to the very center" as they were described in the book, more of a jelly-candy with tiny nuts and bits inside and out. The rose petals aren't terribly good, I would rather smell and plant roses. The pistachio flavor was faint, as were all but the coconut and pomegranate. (For the record, coconut is not my favorite flavor in general, but these weren't bad.) The pomegranate was a bit tart, and pretty good as well. The others... I closed my eyes and imagined what they tasted like more than actually tasting them. And yet, I am not disappointed in my first try of Turkish Delight. It would be a thoughtful gift for people who grew up with them. They are not at all what I expected, which led me to find something more substantial, but that's another story. Those haven't arrived yet...

The taste was delicious and love the texture

I am an American used to "natural flavoring" being really anything real. So, to all the Americans, THIS is what a natural flavoring should be! Actual rose petals. REAL rose petals!!! Actual pistachio and coconut pieces. Savor this treat, eat it in small bites. This is delightful.

So bad that after taste testing it, I threw them all away, dry grainy and sickly sweet. Old not fresh.

I gave it four stars because in my opinion, the can---however, beautiful ,was smaller than I expected. This means, the quantiy of these very good sweet treats, that seemed to be made with care has a nice quality to them. with the right amount of sweet with a lovely texture in the middle can be enjoyed with tea or coffee. However, for the price I expected more and i expected them to be larger.

Very fresh, a little to sweet for my taste.

The candy tastes okay. There’s a lot of sugar in it so I would not recommend it to anyone who has diabetes. The rose flavor is a bit weird to me but all of the flavors smell good. The texture on the inside is on the inside is very similar to a gummy. There’s been a lot of hype around this candy and I was not impressed by it.

These are just wonderfull...great tasting...just like homemade.

This was so deliciously fantastic.Not at all like the typical rose and lemon Turkish delight that most people are familiar with. Lovely presentation tin. Thou on opening I didn't love the individually wrapped sweets..I realise that was to keep the freshness of them. Not cheap but you pay for quality. Definitely recommend.

These were an Eid gift for my mother-in-law. She was completely smitten with the variety of options in these. It is very much a special occasion treat that makes sweet times even sweeter.

If you are expecting the chocolate coated version or the sickly sweet powdered lemon and rose lumps that get doled out at Christmas think again. This stuff is not as sweet but the flavours are intense. Some textural surprises too. Each sweet is individually wrapped. My only criticism is that the tin does give the impression that there’s a second layer but it turned out to be bubble wrap.

Bought as a gift - this is the second time I’ve bought for the recipient who absolutely loves them. Said best Turkish Delight. They look good, absolutely beautifully presented, apparently taste great. And it’s lovely to have the mix. Ingredients are clearly labelled on tin including in bold re potential allergies - wheat, gluten, dairy, nuts etc. The tin is also gorgeous, & can be re-used etc so yes, very good value. Also, they are genuine - as in - made in Turkey. I’m reliant on the recipient for feedback - but as the recipient loves them, & very much praised the first gift & I knew wanted more - 5* for any proper Turkish Delight fans & 5* as a gift. I would definitely buy this again for any Turkish Delight fans.

Delicious
