Packaging of Tahini Halva Sesame by Diusena

Tahini Halva Sesame by Diusena (est. 1992)

Tahini Halva Sesame by Diusena (aka Katerichka) presents everything you would expect from the classic halva. That was the main thought after trying this Bulgarian treat. It seemed sweet enough and distinctly bitter, so the whole taste appeared just flawless. Simple and even pure, nevertheless very enoyable, I’d say. Somewhat flossy texture also deserved a praise, yet this halva could have been less crumbly.

In fact, despite a really small price and low-budget packaging Tahini Halva Sesame by Diusena impressed me with the taste. After all, that’s the most important quality 🙂 Therefore I think this Bulgarian halva outscores lots of more expensive alternatives.
