Turkish pulled hazelnut halva, known in Turkish as fındıklı çekme helva, is one of Anatolia's oldest sugar confections. It belongs to the same family as pişmaniye: sugar is gently pulled and folded together with roasted wheat flour until it forms hundreds of fine, layered strands. The result is a pale, fibrous block that looks dense but melts the moment it touches your tongue, leaving a clean, buttery sweetness studded with roasted hazelnut.This 280 g pack carries the traditional Kastamonu style, a town in northern Turkey long known for its pulled halva. Roasted hazelnuts (around 8% of the recipe) run through every layer, so each piece breaks into delicate threads with a real nutty bite rather than a flat, sugary one.What makes it different: it is made with sugar only and contains no added glucose syrup (the pack is marked "glikoz içermez"), and it carries no preservatives or artificial additives. The texture is its signature, fine spun layers, not the dense, crumbly slab most people picture when they hear the word "halva."How to enjoy it: serve it alongside Turkish coffee or black tea, add a small piece to a breakfast or dessert table, or eat it on its own as an afternoon treat. It keeps well, which makes it an easy gift or pantry staple for anyone who loves authentic Turkish sweets.Ingredients: wheat flour, sugar, hazelnut (8%), acidity regulator (citric acid, E330).Allergen information: contains gluten (wheat) and hazelnut (tree nut). May contain traces of butter, pistachio and almond. Not suitable for anyone with a wheat or tree-nut allergy.Storage: keep the pack sealed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. We have customers across the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, Egypt and the Gulf.
