A staple in Arab and Jewish cultures and widely popular throughout the Mediterranean and Balkans, Halva is a sweet confection made by delicately blending tahini, or sesame paste, with boiled sugar. With a not-too-sweet delicate peanut-butter like flavor, Halva is light, crumbly and airy, melting almost instantly in your mouth. Haitoglou has been making Halva with Almonds for more than 80 years, using their traditional family recipe, without chemicals or additives. Halva has become a recent favorite of chefs who are adding it to baked goods and ice cream sundaes. For an easy dessert to impress shred over ice cream with caramel sauce.
