FAQ

One of the wonderful things about halva is that this healthy dessert has a long shelf-life. Much like peanut butter, it can safely be stored in the pantry at room temperature for a month or more. Halva’s natural oils will begin to separate in warm temperatures over time, so we recommend keeping your halva in the refrigerator where it will last for up to six months without becoming oily or losing its crumbly texture.

We offer traditional flavors and modern takes on flavoring, such as whiskey, chocolate, Nutella, cappuccino, white chocolate raspberry, toasted coconut, to name just a few. Our options may surprise you!

The mail ingredient in halva is sesame which is very rich with natural oil. In warm weather halva and sesame tend to separate the oil and it is absolutely normal. It doesn't mean that it is spoiled. All you need to do is place halva in the refrigerator and it will reabsorb the oil and get the crispy and crumbly texture back. We also recommend to store halva in the refrigerator for super fresh texture and taste. We are putting our best effort in packaging halva in thermal wrap and providing cold packs to ensure the best possible condition during transportation in summer.
