ZaitouneTurkish 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...

Esperaba algo más grande .En la foto se ve grande .Realidad es otra .Pero si son verdaderamenteMuy exquisitas.

Sophisticated Yummy

AWFUL. Silly me, I thought since the title was "Pistachio Covered Turkish Delight" that it would be plain Turkish Delight covered with pistachio. Read the finer print. It's Pomegranate-Rose Turkish Delight covered with pistachio. DISGUSTING. The pomegranate and rose flavoring tastes like Dimetapp and it's so strong, good luck tasting the pistachio. Seller, PLEASE update title to include the actual flavor. Lead with it even. The back of my throat is actually warm like I had medicine. I'm drinking a lot to get rid of this taste. Yuck.

Bought this as a gift and it does come beautifully packaged. Each piece is individually wrapped and had a nice soft texture. There were maybe 15 pieces. We love regular turkish delight, but this was different. These were little rolls with nuts in them and coated with either nuts or rose petals. So many rose petals. I know this is a popular flavor in many parts, but it just wasn't for us. Out of 15 pieces, half were covered in roses. It was fancy but a little.too pricy for what we received. We will stick with regular Turkish delight.

The tastes gross tbh. Kind of like little soap bars in your mouth. Don’t know how else to describe it lol They do look absolutely beautiful though and would make a lovely gift. The taste is what ruins them though! What a shame. I was really excited for these. They are small soft textured Turkish delights. They’re not hard, but are crunchy on top. They don’t go stale fast but they naturally taste stale. Super expensive for what you actually get. They do smell nice though. Like pretty flowers lol so I guess it might depend on your preference.

Delicious! I now understand the hype about Turkish Delight! I traveled to Turkey and never tasted Turkish Delight as good as this. I especially like that it’s no loaded with sugar - just enough sweetness to add to the quality ingredients.

Not overly sweet, delicious little treats that we will be ordering again. I'm a big fan of all the flavors but the one starting with the letter K is the best ever!
