Koska Plain Tahini Halva Traditional Sweet Block 350g

Tahini halva (tahin helvası) is one of Turkey's best-loved sweets, and this 350 g block from Koska is the plain (sade) version, with no pistachios, cocoa or other flavourings named on the pack. The yellow wrapper reads 'Tahin Helva / Halva, Sade / Plain' and carries a 'Doğal Lif Kaynağı' (natural source of fibre) flash. Tahini halva is a traditional sweet based on tahini, the paste of ground sesame seeds, and it is known for its flaky, slightly sandy texture and toasted sesame flavour.

Cut thin slices with a knife and serve them with strong Turkish tea or coffee, or lay a few pieces on fresh bread for a traditional breakfast. It is also lovely crumbled over vanilla ice cream or plain yoghurt, or tucked between two wafers as a quick snack. The 350 g size suits smaller households that like to keep halva on hand without opening a large pack.

As a tahini halva it is made with sesame, so it is not suitable for anyone with a sesame allergy. We could not confirm the full ingredient list, nutrition values or trace warnings for this exact pack, so please read the label before eating, especially if you have a nut allergy. Once opened, wrap the remaining block tightly or keep it in a lidded box in a cool, dry place.
