If your craving for something really sweet hits hard, then Halva Salonikios Pistachio by Meletiadis is a right choice. Because it is actually very sugary! Perhaps too much… It seemed that I ate a crystallized mass of tahini and sugar, which obviously lacked the usual bitterness. So sweetness was super-dominant attribute of this halva.
Strange thing, I could see and smell a delicate aroma of the pistachios, but the taste of these nuts was totally extinguished by the sugar. Therefore, except the really nice texture, which should be appreciated, I could only point that Halva Salonikios Pistachio was sweet, sweet and also a little bit too oily.
