Greek Espresso Halva Halvas Kyrgion 250 g – Handmade
Halva is one of those Greek sweets that tastes best "simply" – a piece with coffee, for a chat, or a little something after dinner. Kyrgion Espresso from Evia combines a classic tahini base with a distinct hint of espresso. It's sweet, sesame-rich, and coffee-flavored all at once – perfect if you like a dessert with character, but without overdoing it.
Taste and Texture
Creamy-crumbly, easy to slice, with a classic sesame finish and a noticeable espresso aroma. It tastes good both at room temperature and slightly chilled – when chilled, it's more "compact" and cuts more evenly.
