Turkish Delight Orbis Coloured 140g

A kaleidoscope of colour and flavour in every box — the Coloured Orbis is Zaharni Zavodi’s assorted-flavour lokum, where each soft, powdered cube carries a different fruit or flower taste. Bulgaria’s oldest confectionery house, making Turkish Delight in Sofia since 1928, offers this cheerful multi-colour variety for those who can’t choose just one.

About Zaharni Zavodi Orbis Coloured Lokum

Zaharni Zavodi was founded in Sofia in 1928, making it Bulgaria’s oldest and most established confectionery company — the market leader in Turkish Delight, halva, and hard candy for nearly a century. Their lokum follows the traditional Bulgarian slow-cook method: a cooked gel of wheat starch and sugar, set, cut, and dusted generously with powdered sugar.

The Orbis Coloured variety is the assorted, multi-flavour edition of the 140g Orbis lokum format — distinct from the plain Orbis (SKU: SLok) in that each package contains pieces in multiple colours, each signalling a different flavour. Typical of the Zaharni Zavodi coloured lokum range, the assortment may include fruit and flower varieties such as rose, lemon, strawberry, or mint. Confirm the current specific assortment from the physical packaging before publishing.

How to Enjoy It

The Bulgarian tradition pairs lokum with a small cup of strong black coffee or Turkish coffee — no utensils needed, just a piece lifted between the fingers, a dusting of powdered sugar, and a sip to follow. The multi-colour assortment makes the Coloured Orbis especially suited to sharing: set out a small dish and let guests discover which flavour each colour holds. It works equally well alongside afternoon tea, on a Bulgarian sweets plate, or tucked into a gift box.

What Makes It Special

The Coloured Orbis stands apart from both the plain Orbis and international Turkish Delight brands in one key way: variety in a single box. Each colour signals a different flavour profile, so the 140g box becomes a tasting experience rather than a single note. Zaharni Zavodi’s slow-cook production method — unchanged in principle for nearly a century — produces the soft, yielding texture that distinguishes authentic Bulgarian lokum. No shortcuts, no compromise on the quality that has kept this brand on Bulgarian celebration tables for generations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "Coloured" mean — how is this different from the plain Orbis?
The Coloured Orbis (SKU: SLok1) is the assorted multi-flavour version of Zaharni Zavodi’s Orbis lokum range. Each colour in the box represents a different flavour — typically fruit or flower varieties such as rose, lemon, strawberry, or mint. The plain Orbis (SKU: SLok) is a single-flavour format. If you want variety and a share-friendly presentation, the Coloured is the one to choose.

What flavours are included in the assortment?
Zaharni Zavodi’s coloured lokum range traditionally features assorted fruit and flower flavours — combinations such as rose, lemon, strawberry, and mint are common across the range. The specific current assortment for this 140g box should be confirmed from the physical packaging, as flavour combinations can vary by production batch.

Is lokum gluten-free?
No. Traditional Bulgarian lokum is made with wheat starch as its gelling agent, making it unsuitable for those with wheat or gluten sensitivity. Always check the allergen declaration on the current physical packaging before consuming.

How should I store this product?
Keep in a cool, dry place at room temperature — do not refrigerate, as condensation makes the powdered sugar coating sticky and causes pieces to clump. Once opened, reseal the bag or transfer to an airtight container. Properly stored, lokum keeps well for several weeks.

Who makes this lokum and where?
This product is made by Zaharni Zavodi AD — Bulgaria’s oldest active confectionery company, founded in Sofia in 1928. Market leader in Bulgarian Turkish Delight and halva, producing to traditional slow-cook recipes for nearly a century. Imported from Bulgaria.
