Kirgion – Bitter Chocolate & Orange Halva 250g
This halva is for those who enjoy sweets with a distinct character. Kirgion chocolate-orange combines a sesame tahini base with a hint of bitter chocolate and the freshness of orange. The effect is very "dessert-like": sweetness balanced by cocoa and a citrus finish — perfect with coffee, tea, and for the table when you want to serve something simple yet sophisticated.
Taste and texture
Creamy-crumbly, easy to cut. The taste starts with sesame and cocoa, followed by an orange accent that breaks the sweetness and adds lightness. It tastes great at room temperature, and when chilled, it becomes firmer and easier to cut evenly.

Ingredients: sesame paste (tahini), sugar, cocoa, candied orange peel, glucose syrup.
