I hadn’t eaten halvah for 60 years, but always remembered that it was a special treat as s child. My parents bought a chunk of it from a wheel in a Persian bakery. It tastes rich and just slightly sweet. Joyva makes the best, they still do, it’s a pure sesame treat for your mouth. So happy I can get it from Amazon!

I have tried others on Amazon. This is still the best. It's the most like the halvah I grew up with as a child. I'm old enough to remember the delis that sold it by the slice off a huge block. I don't know if anyone still makes it like the 1950's or 60's, but this is a close second.
I also ordered the chocolate covered, my favorite!

Description says 'Case of 12'. The box arrived (rather quickly), and it's just 1. Opened it, a bit dismayed that it wasn't the great deal I was expecting, but then took a bite. Mmmm... Halvah. Hadn't had it in years. No time for kvetching... time to enjoy my halvah.
