Flavoured Turkish Delight

Classic and modern flavours

Rose and lemon are among the flavours most closely associated with classic lokum, while contemporary selections can include pomegranate, raspberry, mulberry, orange, lavender and mixed-fruit profiles.

Floral flavours tend to feel lighter, while berry and pomegranate profiles can taste brighter or more tart. Citrus styles add freshness, and mastic gives a very different resinous aroma that appeals most to shoppers looking for a traditional Eastern Mediterranean note.

Flavouring, fruit and fillings are not the same

Two fruit-named lokums may be made differently: one may use flavouring, another fruit concentrate, and another a layered filling. Check the ingredient list if the type of fruit ingredient matters to you.

Choosing an assortment

Flavoured lokum is ideal when you want contrast in a gift or sharing box. Pair lighter floral pieces with brighter fruit styles, then add nut-filled lokum separately if you also want crunch. For a related Turkish sweet, explore Plain Turkish Delights and Mixed Turkish Delights.
