Perfection. The rose flavor is strong. Because it is natural it tastes exactly like the flower with sugar added. No horrible after taste. I ordered in December my lot came from the last week of August. Which means it’s pretty fresh for something that imported from Turkey. Package was in perfect condition. The texture was exactly as I expected. Of course some of the confectioners sugar had absorbed into the outermost layer of the candy. That is actually why the sugar is on it. To keep the candy from sticking together because it’s moisture level. It worked. I have a local shop that sells it “fresh” for more money but the quality was about the same except the confectioner sugar.

Very fresh dessert with a mellow rose flavor.

I was really looking forward to this Rose Turkish Delight, but unfortunately, it was a big letdown. When I opened the box, I noticed that the pieces were completely dry with no proper sugar or starch coating at all they looked nothing like how Turkish Delight should be presented. The texture was tough and unpleasant, and the flavor was very bland with barely any hint of rose. They are stale and poorly made, more like chewy jelly blocks than the soft, aromatic treat I expected. Very disappointed, I wouldn’t buy this brand again!

This Turkish delight is quite delicious

I’m between giving it 3 & 4 stars but opted for 4 because it’s got none of those toxic food dyes. No additives, preservatives, no artificial sweeteners, gluten free & non-gmo. So I really loved that I was able to eat candies that weren’t going to cause a whole bunch of inflammation & toxicity in my body. Here’s where the 3 star comes in- I didn’t like the consistency, perhaps it may have just been this batch, I don’t know. It’s my first time ordering from this company. The gumminess was too soft, like it sort of became a jam in the mouth which wasn’t too much to my liking because I would have liked a bit more of a solid consistency. Also, other brands I’ve ordered the candies are completely covered in the powdered sugar which keeps them from sticking to each other & adds another layer of tastiness, in my opinion. This one barely had any powdered sugar & some of the pieces were stuck together in that if you picked one, it came up with 2 or 3. Also, somehow it tasted overly sweet. I’m torn in that it’s made without all the junk that other brands put in but I didn’t love the end product. But will try again in some time to see if there’s any bettering of the final product in some time to come.

Honey texture. Flavor is strong, felt like I licked some perfume. I wanna try a different flavor to give it another chance.

Bought it bcz of reviews and now I'm going buy another bcz of its flavor. It's really nice!

We tried a couple of different brands over the holiday season, and we were very impressed with Eastanbul brand. The other brands were a bit rubbery and did not have the correct 'mouth-feel' that Turkish Delight should have (even though I checked the ingredients to make sure that the candies did not contain gelatin.) The flavor is strong, but not overpowering. You will get an almost 'cinnamon-ey' flavor when you first put it in your mouth, which makes way for the traditional rose flavor. We very much enjoyed these!

The flavour is okay, but it's very chewy and sticky.
