This article has been refreshed with two additional Oreo flavors not found in the US and expanded ingredient info for existing flavors. From China, Japan, Indonesia, and down to South America, Oreo offers something different for everybody!
12 Rose Cream (China)
One of the non-US Oreo flavors to mention comes from China, the ever-loved Rose Cream Oreo. This dessert is pink cream between two chocolate wafers, with rose powder being added to the mix. Unlike many Oreos that advertise a flavor that doesn't truly get used in it, Rose Cream Oreos in China are legit. People travel to the country and bring home loads of them because they're so sweet and different, so keep an eye peeled the next time you're in China.
These are some of the world's best-frozen desserts to consider trying.

11 Matcha Roll Cake (Japan)

The next Oreo flavor that you cannot find in the United States comes out of Japan, the Matcha Roll Cake Oreo. Not only does this Oreo have a delicious Matcha ingredient, but smells like a beloved cup of tea and has become a majorly popular choice in Japan. Matcha Roll Oreos debuted many years ago overseas, never making it to US stores. The cookies were reported to not be overly sweet, and many people dipped them into Matcha tea drinks as a quick snack or dessert. As of now, they are no longer available in Japan, either, so hopefully, they make a triumphant return soon.

Countries like China and Japan are known for having many different varieties of treats that you can’t find here. This includes their own unique sweets as well as different flavors of classic brands. There are many different Oreo cookie flavors that China offers. Matcha, or green tea, is unsurprisingly one of these choices. There are many sweets and foods in China with this unique flavor. The filling in this cookie might look like mint but is actually sweet tea.

9 Blueberry Ice Cream (Indonesia)

If you’re looking for unique Oreo flavors, different Asian countries are probably your best bet. From Japan to Indonesia to Malaysia, many of these countries have delicious varieties you won’t find anywhere else. Blueberry ice cream probably isn’t a flavor you’d expect Oreo to include since it’s somewhat specific and random. However, it does sound like a refreshing take and would be delicious to try.
- Made with: Blueberries or flavoring
8 Lemon Ice Cream (Japan)

While lemon-flavored Oreos can be found in the United States, this take on the classic flavor is a bit different and comes from Japan. You’ll probably have to just try and taste this kind for yourself if you're lucky enough. If possible, it would be an interesting taste test to see if the Lemon Ice flavor is any different from the regular lemon flavor. This is just one of a few different Oreo flavors that are unique to Japan. This is unsurprising as Japan often has unique flavors of sweet brands.

7 Orange Ice Cream (Indonesia)

This variety from Indonesia is similar to the blueberry ice cream flavor. The flavor was released around the same time and is just another option. Orange and chocolate are always a classic flavor combination, so it’s no surprise that these two flavors have been put together for a delicious Oreo snack. Of course, the ice cream aspect of this orange flavor gives this cookie a little bit of a spin and goes for a more creamy orange taste.
- Made with: Orange cream powder
6 Alfajor (Argentina)
