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...

It's quite good. Many turkish delights sold in America are poor quality, with no flavour apart from flat sugar taste, similar to local desserts sold at Walmart. This one actually has distinct fruity flavors and most importantly good amount of nuts! You can literally see rose petal bits around rose flavored ones. I would probably buy it again if price point remains the same

The appearance was appealing. The candy was fresh. It’s definitely a treat to be tried with an adventurous, willing spirit : )

I bought this purchase on March 8, 2025, it arrived today March 10 and the box is dented at the bottom and the expiration date is July 2025. I wanted to give these candies as a gift and the worst thing of all is that they cannot be returned, so do not risk losing $20, because the Zaitoune store is not responsible for its products, What a shame, I feel cheated. It shouldn't even have 1 star.

As they say on the packaging but they are very good. I plan on ordering a few different kinds for my wedding and this was definitely worth the price. They’re chewy for sure. Almost like a chunk of fruit leather but they’re not too dense despite the nuts. They’re not too dry and they’re a great consistency even if like me you’re missing afew teeth, they’re not too soft but they’re not too solid either.

Taste delicious, really unique, and one of the best Turkish delights I’ve ever had, and it’s not too sweet which is great.

I like the tast but the box is very small too expensive

These are absolutely wonderful! The rose in particular with a cup of tea are a real treat.
