Traditional halva is made of tahina (sesame paste, otherwise known as sesame butter) and caramel, often with the addition of dried fruit, nuts or honey, but the main ingredient is sesame, which accounts for about 60% of the weight of halva, both sugar-free and sugar-free . Aromatic sesame contains B vitamins, phosphorus, polyunsaturated fatty acids, iron, calcium and minerals; sesame is naturally rich in antioxidants, vitamin E and selenium.

Halva is much more than ground sesame, and the process of preparing halva using the traditional method is surprisingly complicated. Sesame seeds are rinsed in a salt solution to remove any impurities, and then three times in a water bath - to remove salt residues. Sesame seeds cleaned in this way are baked in a special tubular psistiria mould, whose movable lobes move the sesame seeds like wings so that they are well and evenly roasted, but not burnt. Tahina (sesame paste) is prepared from roasted sesame using millstones, which is then placed in a copper vessel with a semi-circular bottom called pasimi. At the same time, sugar is separately boiled in water to obtain a thick sugar-caramel syrup, which is mixed with tahina when it reaches the temperature of 115°C - such a mixture is kneaded by hand like dough, kneaded hot - it is a process that requires a lot of experience and the quality of the halva depends primarily on the skill and patience of the sesame kneading machine. heat is packed in ready-made packaging.
