Kirgion – vanilla halva 250 g
Vanilla halva is a classic that suits practically any "sweet moment": coffee, tea, a little something after dinner or a quick dessert for guests. Kirgion Vanilla from Evia is tahini-based and has a mild, creamy-vanilla finish. Simple, sesame, pleasantly sweet – the kind you slice and put on the table without any extra preparation.
Taste and texture
Creamy-crumbly and easy to slice, with a clear tahini sesame base and a delicate vanilla aroma. It tastes great at room temperature, and after light chilling, it's more compact and slices more evenly.
