Sesame Superfood
Sesame: Nature’s Superfood The Health Benefits of Sesame

Incorporate sesame into your diet to:
- Enjoy a vegan source of protein and healthy fats.
- Support healthy bones and skin with essential minerals.
- Boost overall wellness with natural antioxidants.
From tahini paste to our sesame-rich halva, each product celebrates the health benefits of this superfood.
Halva
What is Halva
Halva proves that a sweet treat can be both delicious and nutritious. Made primarily from tahini (sesame paste), our halva is packed with essential nutrients like calcium, iron, and vitamin E. Using premium Ethiopian sesame seeds—known as a superfood—we handcraft halva that’s vegan and gluten-free (excluding certain toppings).
Ways to Enjoy Halva:
- As a quick, energizing snack between meals.
- As a satisfying, nutritious treat post-workout.

Whether enjoyed on its own, in recipes, or with a warm cup of coffee or tea, halva’s unique taste and health benefits make it perfect for any time of day.
Premium Halva Care & Storage Guide
1. The Ideal Environment
Halva is a stable product, but it is sensitive to heat and light.
- Temperature: The optimal temperature for storage is between 15°C and 20°C.
- Location: Store your Halva in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like ovens or radiators)..
- Shelf Life: When stored correctly at room temperature, our Halva remains fresh for 3 to 6 months.
2. Airtight Protection
Exposure to air is the primary cause of Halva becoming dry or crumbly.
- Pro Tip: Always keep the Halva in its original packaging and place it inside an airtight container.
- Why? This prevents the Halva from absorbing moisture or odors from the kitchen and ensures the flavor stays consistent from the first bite to the last.
3. Understanding Natural Oil Separation
Our Halva is crafted with an exceptionally high percentage of premium, stone-ground sesame tahini. Because we use traditional methods without chemical stabilizers, you may notice some sesame oil separation over time.
- A Sign of Quality: The discharge of oil is a natural occurrence caused by temperature fluctuations. It is a testament to the purity and high oil content of our
sesame seeds. - Prevention: Keeping your Halva in an airtight container will prevent this natural oil from staining surfaces or other products in your pantry.
- Safety: This oil is perfectly safe to consume and does not affect the quality of the product.
4. Long-Term Storage (Refrigeration)
If you prefer a firmer, cold texture or wish to extend the shelf life:
- You may store the airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 12 months.
- Serving Suggestion: If refrigerated, let your slice sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before enjoying. This allows the natural oils to soften, releasing the full complexity of the flavor.
