Good to Know

One full year unopened, 3 months once opened. No refrigeration needed.

Rich, nutty sesame flavor with a unique texture - crumbly at first bite, then creamy as it melts.

Yes! It's natural sesame oil - just mix it back in. It's actually a sign of quality and purity.

Absolutely. Our halva is 100% plant-based and gluten-free.

Most people enjoy it with coffee or tea. It's also delicious as a dessert or straight from the package.

Perfect gift choice! It's unique, has a long shelf life, and comes beautifully packaged.

The 500g size is ideal - enough to really experience it without committing to too much.

We ship across Europe: Netherlands (next day), Germany (2-3 days), France (2-4 days), Belgium (2-3 days), Switzerland (3-5 days), Austria (3-5 days). Free shipping over €100 with tracking included.
