Kirgion – Whole Grain Halva (classic) 250 g
If you like a more "nutty" and distinct halva, the whole grain version is exactly what you're looking for. Kirgion Whole Grain Halva from Evia is made from sesame paste (tahini) from whole sesame seeds, giving it a deeper aroma and a more pronounced sesame finish. It's a classic dessert for coffee and a quick sweet treat to put on the table – no preparation needed.
Taste and texture
Creamy-crumbly, easy to cut, with an intensely sesame, slightly "nutty" character. The whole grains in the tahini base give it a more distinct finish than classic versions. It tastes good at room temperature, and after light chilling, it is more compact and cuts more evenly.
