What is Halva?
This is the most important question. You can find lots of information on our "WHAT IS HALVA" page.
Why does your Halva taste so good?
Carefully selected first quality ingredients and a long process by hand. We select the best ingredients available to make a high quality Halva, with a high percentage of tahina, our first ingredient ever.
What is tahini or sesame cream?
Tahini is a food derived from white sesame seeds, very common in the Mediterranean area, North Africa and the Middle East. It is also called sesame cream.
The sesame seeds are delicately toasted, then they are ground and the resulting flour is then diluted with sesame oil, to form a paste with a creamy consistency, called Tahina.
It has a nut-like flavor with an aroma reminiscent of peanuts, but is less sweet and has a toasty note
It is rich in vitamins E, B and mineral salts such as calcium, magnesium, silicon, phosphorus, zinc and iron.
Sesame seeds also contain two substances, sesamin and sesamolin, which have been shown to have an active role in lowering the cholesterol rate by preventing cardiovascular diseases.
(We recommend that you consult a doctor for any specific health or allergy questions related to sesame seeds)
