Pomegranate
250 gram packs of one of the earliest flavours written about. The Pomegranate is native to old Persia and we use a Juice concentrate from Lebanon to flavour this soft, sweet offering. The Pomegranate is eaten in similar fashion to a Passion Fruit - only the seeds - and the delicate fruity flavour is followed by a very distinctive tart aftertaste which will continue to stimulate the saliva glands for some time.
Liquorice
250 gram boxes. This is very traditional Egyptian flavour. People are confused by liquorice, they expect a hard chewy black product when that is not what its really about - ours is soft, delicate but distinctive - commercial liquorice normally contains molasses which is a major contributor to that taste. The Egyptians have been using Liquorice root as a medicinal herb and flavouring since the time of the Pharoes and this is just one manifestation of that lengthy association.
Feijoa
250 gram packs of our soft, melt in the mouth Delight with a Kiwi twist. The Feijoa is a flavour associated with New Zealand and we have incorporated it in the rather special boxing. The picture on the box is not Pohutukawa but rather Feijoa in full flower in our garden. We are not able to use fruit in the product ( it would go bad ! ) but do use a natural Feijoa extract.
Honey and Fig
250 gram pack of one of the oldest recorded flavour mixes - Blue Borage honey from the Awatere Valley in the Kaikoura ranges and semi dried figs. A subtle combination but one that brings with it texture from the figs, especially the crunchy burst of distinctive fig flavour when you bite on the seeds.
Manuka Honey and Blackcurrant
250 gram pack of this uniquely New Zealand flavour - Honey collected from hives set out in the Marlborough Sounds and a concentrated Black Currant from Canterbury. Very distictive honey flavour balanced with a lingering acidity from the Blackcurrants.
Honey and Ginger
250 gram pack of a very early flavour combination. Blue Borage honey imparts a distinctive taste complimented with the lingering sharpness of fresh ground ginger. Despite ginger not being grown in the area where Turkish Delight originated, you have to imagine it was an expensive and prized addition to food as it had been brought on the overland trade route from Asia.
Divine Rose
250 Gram packs of soft, melt in the mouth, hugely aromatic, traditional Turkish Delight - made with a natural Rose flavour which is far more intense and lingering than the rose water flavored supermarket product. This is the flavour that most people associate with Turkish Delight.
Citrus Melody
250 gram pack of this assortment of flavours for citrus lovers. Orange , Lemon and Lime assortment all made with cold pressed oils from the skins of the fruit so the Delight has that wonderful intense taste that you get when you peel the fruit. Orange and Lemon flavours also have candied peel in the mix.
The Collection
250 gram packs of an assortment of melt in the mouth cubes of flavours. This pack contains a minimum of 6 flavours - up to 8, depending on what is being packed on the day - they are random in the box but ideal as a gift for a Turkish Delight lover (where you might no know the recipients favourite ) or perhaps as a gift to the hostess after an evening with friends.
Spiced Green Apple
250 gram pack mixing a couple of the flavours we expect from Turkey - home of Apple Tea - but subtle spicing with cinnamon provided the sort of taste we are all familiar with in Apple Pie, Crumble and Turnovers.
Cardamon and Orange
250 gram pack - The orange oil we use in our citrus range is used here in conjunction with Cardamom seeds which we grind ourselves and it produces a unique 2 stage combination - the orange is the initial taste and then the cardamom to finish. As there is ground seed in the mix little explosions of cardamom flavour are a bonus from time to time.
Exotic Lychee
250 gram pack - This is very much a fusion flavour - lychee is a delicate but distinctive fruity flavour and this translates well to our Turkish Delight. Unique to us !!
