Offer an elevated halva experience with Haci Bekir Pistachio Halva, a 200 g block crafted from 100% Gaziantep sesame seeds and studded generously with premium Antep pistachio pieces. Rooted in a legacy since 1777, Haci Bekir preserves traditional Ottoman confectionery techniques: stone-milling sesame into silky tahini, then slow-cooking with pure cane sugar to form delicate sugar crystals. In this artisanal variation, whole roasted pistachios (15%) are folded into the tahini base before setting, infusing every bite with vibrant green crunch and buttery nutty warmth. Premium Ingredients & Time-Honored Craftsmanship – 100% Gaziantep sesame seeds, stone-milled on-site to retain natural oils and aroma – Pure cane sugar, cooked to achieve halva’s signature flaky texture – Roasted Antep pistachio kernels (15%), sourced directly from Turkey’s pistachio heartland – Traditional cold-press and low-heat methods, ensuring non-bitter, melt-in-the-mouth purity Clean-Label & Dietary Appeal With only three ingredients—tahini (sesame seeds), cane sugar, and pistachios—this halva is naturally gluten-free, vegan, and free from artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives. Its transparent recipe resonates with health-conscious consumers seeking clean-label indulgence.
