Kirgion – Dark Chocolate & Cranberry Halva 250 g
This is a combination that works from the first bite: deep cocoa and a light fruit tartness. Kirgion chocolate-cranberry halva is made from tahini and is enriched with dark chocolate (min. 70% cocoa) and dried cranberries. Crumbly, sesame-based, and very "dessert-like" — perfect with coffee, tea, or to serve when you want something simple yet refined.
Taste and texture
Creamy-crumbly, easy to cut. The sesame base combines with distinct cocoa, and the cranberry adds a fruity, slightly tart finish that breaks through the sweetness. It tastes great at room temperature, and when chilled, it's firmer and easier to slice evenly.
Origin and ingredients
Producer/brand: Kirgion. Origin/region: Evia (Euboea), Greece.
Ingredients: sesame paste (tahini), sugar, dark chocolate (min. 70% cocoa), dried cranberries.

Simple recipe: chocolate-cranberry sundae with halva (5 minutes)
- Put 3–4 tablespoons of thick yogurt (preferably Greek) into a bowl.
