There’s something undeniably magical about real Turkish delight—that soft, delicate sweetness, dusted in powdered sugar, whispering stories of ancient palaces and bustling spice markets. Known as lokum in its native Turkey, this enchanting treat has been charming sweet lovers for centuries with its melt-in-the-mouth texture and unforgettable flavour.
At Özerlat UK, we’re proud to carry on this delicious tradition with a curated collection of Turkish delight flavours handcrafted in Istanbul. Using age-old techniques and only the finest natural ingredients, our delights are free from artificial colours, preservatives and glucose syrup—and they’re completely vegan and gluten-free too.
So, come with us on a flavourful journey through our range of real Turkish delights, each one a little bite of magic. Which one will capture your heart first?
Rose Petal Turkish Delight
The Rose Petal Turkish Delight is a celebration of a classic. With its subtle perfume and soft, chewy texture, it evokes the essence of old-world Turkish confectionery. Made using real rose petals and natural flavouring, this variety is ideal for those who appreciate elegance in every bite.
The rose flavour is delicate rather than overpowering, striking a beautiful balance between floral sweetness and the gentle melt of the delight itself. This is a flagship choice for anyone discovering real Turkish delight for the first time—or for those who return to it, time and again, for comfort and nostalgia.
Zesty Lemon Turkish Delight
Bright and invigorating, the Zesty Lemon Turkish Delight offers a tangy twist to the traditional sweet. This flavour is made with natural lemon juice, which gives it a crisp, clean flavour profile that’s both refreshing and palate-cleansing. It’s the perfect antidote to overly rich desserts and pairs wonderfully with afternoon tea or a post-dinner coffee. Among the range of Turkish delight flavours, lemon stands out for its ability to lift the senses while maintaining the signature smooth texture of real Turkish delight.
Pistachio Turkish Delight
The Pistachio Turkish Delight marries the nutty richness of Antep pistachios with the pillowy softness of traditional lokum. Each piece is generously studded with whole pistachios, offering a pleasant crunch that contrasts beautifully with the melt-in-your-mouth consistency of the delight. Pistachio is one of the most iconic Turkish delight flavours, beloved not only in Turkey but around the world for its earthy richness. This variety is a luxurious treat and a must-try for those who crave texture and depth in their sweets.
Date Selection Turkish Delight
The Date Selection Turkish Delight is a trio of nature’s finest ingredients: sweet Turkish dates, hazelnuts, and pistachios. This assortment includes plain date delight, date with hazelnuts, and date with pistachios, offering a variety of textures and flavour combinations in one beautifully presented box. Dates bring a natural caramel-like sweetness that is richer than sugar alone, while the nuts add crunch and a layer of roasted flavour. This selection is ideal for those who enjoy more grounded, wholesome Turkish delight flavours and makes a thoughtful gift or elegant personal indulgence.
Cinnamon Turkish Delight
The Cinnamon Turkish Delight is comfort in a bite. As soon as you open the box, the warm, inviting aroma of cinnamon greets you. This flavour is especially suited to colder months, with its gently spicy notes that feel reminiscent of festive baking and mulled drinks. Yet its appeal extends beyond the seasons. With its balance of sweetness and spice, it’s a versatile choice that pairs well with tea, coffee or as a refined after-dinner treat. It’s one of the more nostalgic Turkish delight flavours, bringing back the essence of family gatherings and familiar warmth.
Spicy Clove Turkish Delight
Powerful and distinctive, the Spicy Clove Turkish Delight is not for the faint-hearted—and that’s exactly why so many love it. Clove brings a bold, aromatic profile with hints of camphor and pepper, adding a unique sharpness that cuts through the sweetness of the delight. This flavour is perfect for those with adventurous palates who enjoy complex spice blends and strong herbal notes. Among the many Turkish delight flavours, this one stands apart for its intensity and lingering warmth. A true connoisseur’s choice, it offers a bold take on real Turkish delight.
Resiny Mastic Turkish Delight
One of the most traditional and historically significant flavours, the Resiny Mastic Turkish Delight is made with mastic—a rare tree resin harvested on the Greek island of Chios and used in Turkish and Middle Eastern cooking for centuries. It has a distinctive pine-like aroma and slightly bitter finish that sets it apart from all other flavours. This variety has a clean, almost refreshing character, with a lingering herbal note that pairs well with black tea or Turkish coffee. It’s one of the most iconic Turkish delight flavours and a prime example of real Turkish delight staying true to its ancient roots.
