Filema – Halva with Almonds 200 g
Halva is that type of sweet that needs no special occasion: coffee, tea, a moment after lunch, or something small to put on the table. Filema Halva with Almonds combines a classic sesame base with crunchy almonds, which add a nutty finish and a nice texture. Simple, straightforward, and very "Mediterranean."
Taste and Texture
Creamy-crumbly and easy to slice. Clearly sesame-flavored, with almonds adding crunch and a delicate buttery, nutty accent. Tastes good at room temperature, and when chilled, it's firmer and cuts more evenly.

Sesame and almonds (nuts).
