Derived from the Arabic halwa, meaning sweet, halva is believed to have originated in the Middle East, somewhere between 3000 BC and 12th century AD. From there, it wove its sweet spell through the Mediterranean, Central Asia and the Subcontinent, where ingredients were swapped in and out, new ones added. Halva is at the same time crumbly and fluffy and comes in many fantastic flavors: chocolate, pistachio, signature eastern rose oil and many more.

One of the wonderful things about halva is that this healthy dessert has a long shelf life. Halva is made of sesame paste, and you can think of it a lot like peanut butter. Like peanut butter, halva can be stored safely at room temperature in the pantry for a month or more. Also like peanut butter, halva contains natural oils that will separate in warm temperatures. That's why we recommend to keep your halva in cool area to prevent oiliness and preserve its crumbly texture.
