Emirelli Artisanal Halva Dessert – Dark Chocolate Roasted Almonds

My Mom just loved them.

Excellent, had halva as a kid and this was just as good as I remember. Unfortunately not very much for the price.

good taste

I've eaten a lot of Halvah in my life and have the cavities to prove it. This halvah melts in your mouth. It is delicious and you may not be able to stop eating it. So - you've been warned. Thanks to this company for making this delight and offering it to us on Amazon.

For starters, the layer of pistachios on the top is all you get. Good pistachio halva should have pistachios folded into it throughout. This does not, which is my main issue with it.Flavor-wise, it's okay, but it does have a slight bitter aftertaste, indicating that some of the sesame used was probably old or stored in a hot temperature for a while.That said, the presentation is pretty nice, and it's likely that if it is gifted to someone who is not quite familiar with Halva that they would like it and be glad to receive it.

I purchased the Dark chocolate with roasted almonds and it was very fresh and very good. I wish they made a marbled flavor but it was delish. It is a bit pricey though

I love this Halvah! I first tried it because they had it at TJMaxx but now I always get it for gift baskets and Christmas presents. I like it as much as Seed & Mill Halvah but it’s less expensive and easier to get since it’s on Amazon with prime shipping. This halvah is nice flakey and dry not oily, and not overly sweet. The pistachio flavor is good as well but the chocolate almond is my favorite. I often sprinkle this over ice cream and it’s so good!

If you have never had deli fresh halva which is refrigerated then maybe this product would be okay for you.I am a first generation American and grew up spoiled in being able to taste many different of refrigerated halvas and none of these ones that are stored on grocery shelves could compare in taste and certainly are not at all worth the price.While halva does not NEED to be refrigerated, if it then it is done "to try to delay the natural separation of oil" and boy does it have a major effect on taste and quality.Every once in a while I have a craving for Halva and I make the mistake of caving and buying one of these shelf halvas to try but I have yet to find one that I would consider anywhere near as good as the refrigerated kinds you can find at your local mom and pop deli import store. Halvas like these ones should not cost more than a few bucks ($3) never mind the obscene prices they charge for.
