Turkish Delight Rose Flavoured 17.64 oz 1.10 Ibs 500 gr Lokum

Only kind I ever order. Been ordering these for years! Yummy!

Fresh and sweet with the fragrance and light flavor of rose, I love it! An unusual added taste at the end of a meal with sip of coffee or tea. Will delight company as most people have not discovered this tasty treat. Try it, you’ll like it!

First time ordering this brand. Has more rose flavor than I've had with others but it's lovely with a strong cup of smoky, black tea.

This review is from the point of view of one who had never tasted any food with rose flavoring before - so I wouldn't know how this brand of rose-flavored candy might compare to others. Based on my limited tasting experience, I'd say that rose-flavored Turkish Delights might be an acquired taste, or a nostalgic treat for some. I was curious to try them because, as a child, I loved nibbling on rose petals in a neighbor's garden (er, that is, until the neighbor found out). I was a little disappointed that this candy did not remind me of the rose petals from childhood. Instead, it reminded me of the floral/alcohol scent from the bottom of an old perfume bottles. Meanwhile, my partner's first impression was an "antiseptic" flavor. On the other hand, I enjoyed the very soft, gummy texture - easy to chew, pleasant on the tongue, not too sticky. Unlike some other reviewers, I thought the amount of powdered sugar coating was just right, providing a burst of sweetness when you first bite down that perfectly offsets the sharper rose taste that follows. The candies grew on me after eating a couple, and I'm glad I tried them, but I can't say the rose flavor will ever be my favorite. Maybe I'll try Turkish Delights in a variety of flavors next time (including but not exclusively rose).

I just remove the power sugar coating with cold water and eat it. Don't remove it beforehand or they'll get damaged in the fridge. I also like to eat them lightly cold which is why I put them in the fridge. The powdered sugar keeps them from gluing together but it's tooo much sugar! (O_o)// You can't taste the turkish delight with it.A delicious treat without that powdered sugar though.***It will make a huge powdery sugar mess when you open it so do it over a sink. Save yourself the hassle.

I had tried some Turkish Delight recently and decided I liked the rose flavor, so I ordered two different brands off Amazon to try: this one and one by Cerez Pazari. I had seen someone else comment that this brand was liberally doused in powdered sugar to prevent them sticking together, but I was used to a bit of that due to a fondness for mochi, so I bought it anyways. The minute I took the plastic wrap off the box, powdered sugar started escaping. Inside the box, the candy is inside a plastic tray and has a plastic lid, but it is not a tight fit and so the powdered sugar was able to get out. I did not particularly want to eat one with that much sugar caked on it so I dusted it off before trying it. Mine was not the dark pink in the ad, but a lighter, duller shade. I have no idea if this is normal. The taste was not overwhelming. I didn’t feel like I was eating grandma’s perfume, like some people go on about. I would say that it was mildly sweet and mildly rose-flavored. I actually liked the other brand better, though I couldn’t stand their lemon and orange ones, but this was certainly not terrible, once the powdered sugar was dusted off.

Always fresh and delicious. Fast shipping.

Love it.
