Zaitoune 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...

I bought this to try and took it to work every one love them the rose petals was a hit I love the cranberry and pistachio

Love this pretty fresh like that they were individually wrapped. Good quality. We enjoyed them!

Taste great but some flavors were not good. The quality is nice and they seemed fresh

Not impressed with the flavors. The ad looks much better than the taste. Too expensive. I gave 9ne as a gift before trying it myself. I am embarrassed now.

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.

Delicious

But these Turkish candies to try and we love them. Well worth it treat.

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.

I am extremely impressed with the high quality, perfect gift, small embossed tin, with fresh, gourmet Turkish delights, individually wrapped. Added note despite these taste delicious please note there was only 10 days left before expiry, don’t worry they will be eaten in one sitting! 😉

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.

I have bought this sweets several times and still go back for more simply because they are delicious . . lovely texture not too chewy taste is divine I cant say more . Once you try them you will go back for more .. Maimie

Excellent quality. It was purchased to gift someone, they loved it.
