Greek Tahini and Halva
Tahini and halva are two sides of the same sesame seed. At Greek Flavours you can buy Greek tahini and halva online, shipped from Greece to the United States, stone-ground from toasted sesame the traditional way.
Tahini
Tahini is a smooth paste of ground sesame seeds. In Greece it goes far beyond hummus: it is whisked with lemon and garlic into a sauce for vegetables and fish, blended into dips, spread on bread with honey for breakfast, and used in baking. Look for plain tahini, whole-grain tahini, and versions blended with cocoa or honey.
Halva
Greek halva is a dense, sweet sesame confection made from tahini and sugar or honey, often studded with almonds, pistachios, or cocoa. It is sliced and served with coffee or as a simple dessert, and it is a fixture of the Lenten table because it contains no dairy or eggs.
Frequently Asked Questions About Tahini and Halva
What is tahini used for?
Tahini is used to make hummus, but also sauces with lemon and garlic, dips, salad dressings, and baked goods. In Greece it is spread on bread with honey and eaten for breakfast, especially on fasting days.
What is Greek halva made of?
Sesame halva is made from tahini and a sweetener, sugar or honey, sometimes with added nuts, cocoa, or vanilla. It contains no dairy or eggs, which makes it naturally vegan.
Is tahini healthy?
Tahini is pure ground sesame, a source of healthy fats, plant protein, and minerals such as calcium. It is calorie-dense, so it is used in modest amounts.
How do I store tahini and halva?
Keep both in a cool, dry cupboard. Tahini separates naturally, so stir the oil back in before use. Halva keeps for weeks sealed at room temperature.
How long does delivery take?
Orders are prepared in 2 to 4 working days and then shipped from Greece to the US, with transit time added on top. Tahini and halva are shelf-stable and travel at room temperature.
