Kirgion – pistachio halva 250 g
Pistachio halva is a classic in a more "delicatessen" version. Kirgion Pistachio from Evia is made from tahini and is enriched with pistachio pieces (min. 10%), which add crunchiness and a distinct nutty finish. It's a dessert that goes well with coffee and tea, and on the table, it looks like a ready-to-share, elegant snack.
Taste and texture
Creamy-crumbly, easy to cut. The taste combines a sesame base with a pistachio aroma and pleasant crunchiness. If you like sweets that are not "one-dimensional", the pistachios here make all the difference.
