Lalin Plain Halva by Gulluoglu (est. 1871)

Lalin Plain Halva is a perfect example that very good halva may be very simple. From only few ingredients Gulluoglu extracted something amazing! I enjoyed so much a delicate aroma and exquisite taste of this Turkish halva… A slight bitterness, well balanced sweetness and very pleasant, soft texture – everything was just great.

Discussed halva is plain indeed, but you will not miss anything additional, because it‘s absolutely flawless. So don‘t hesitate if you have a chance to taste Lalin Plain Halva.
