Tahini halva is one of the most expressive sesame-based sweets. At Beyoğlu Lokum & Coffee, the category begins with our own tahini: sesame paste produced under our control before it becomes halva. This gives the product a cleaner sesame aroma, a dense fibrous texture and a more controlled flavour base for pistachio, cocoa, vanilla and marble profiles.
Tahini halva is a traditional sesame confection made from tahini, sugar or syrup and a texture-forming process that gives halva its dense, flaky and slightly fibrous structure. It is different from flour or semolina halva because sesame paste is the main flavour base.
Tahini quality determines the aroma, texture and aftertaste of sesame halva. When tahini is produced under our own control, we can manage sesame character, freshness, oil balance and the final halva texture more precisely.
Tahini halva has a calm, premium and traditional character. It pairs well with Turkish coffee, black tea, pistachio, cocoa and dried fruit. In retail packaging, it works as a serious confectionery gift rather than a simple sugar sweet.
Tahini halva works for premium grocery shelves, cafés, tea and coffee service, gift boxes, online orders, corporate sets and wholesale assortments. For a balanced shelf, combine one classic sesame profile, one pistachio profile, one cocoa profile and one visually strong marble or nut-focused product.

Store tahini halva in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, humidity and strong odours. Keep the package closed after opening. Because halva is sesame-based and naturally rich in oil, texture and aroma are best preserved when the product is protected from heat and air.
Tahini halva contains sesame. Some products may contain pistachio, hazelnut, other tree nuts or traces of peanuts, walnut, almond and other allergens. Always check the individual product card and packaging before ordering.
