How to Use
Serve at room temperature so the halva softens slightly and the sesame aroma comes through. Slice with a sharp knife to reveal the almonds throughout, or crumble over yogurt, ice cream, or oatmeal. Pairs well with strong coffee or Greek mountain tea. Reseal the tin with its plastic lid and refrigerate after opening; consume within 2 to 3 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Macedonian Halva with Almonds contain tree nuts and sesame?
Yes. This halva is made primarily from sesame tahini and contains 7% whole and sliced almonds, so it contains both sesame and tree nuts as core ingredients, not just as a facility trace. Anyone with a tree nut or sesame allergy should not eat this product, and should read the printed ingredient and allergen panel on the tin before serving.
How should I store this halva after opening?
Cover the tin with its resealable plastic lid and keep it in a cool, dry place, or refrigerate for longer freshness. Consume within 2 to 3 weeks of opening for the best texture and flavor. The halva can also be frozen in a sealed container if you want to keep it longer.
Does this halva also contain peanuts?
Peanuts are not an ingredient in Macedonian Halva with Almonds, but Haitoglou Bros produces several nut-containing halva varieties in the same facility, so trace amounts of peanuts or other tree nuts are possible. Anyone with a peanut allergy should read the printed label carefully before eating.
