MARBLE: Sesame paste, sugar, glucose, chocolate (cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, soy lecithin, vanilla extract), cocoa powder, saponaria extract
PISTACHIO: Sesame paste, sugar, glucose, pistachios, saponaria extract
ROSE OIL: Sesame paste, sugar, glucose, rose, saponaria extract, rose extract. Topping: rose petals

The halva is certified kosher by the Rabbinate of Ashdod. Please email us if you would like to see the certificate.
Each loaf cake ships upside down in a protective container and you will flip it onto a cake stand or cutting board when ready to serve. We only use natural ingredients, which means you might notice some oil when you flip out the cake - easily absorbed with paper towel. For most cakes, we suggest you add additional decorative toppings for some extra pizzazz (e.g. extra chopped nuts, fruit or chocolate shavings).
Each halva loaf cake weighs 3.3 lbs (1.5kg) and serves approx. 20-25 people (depending on serving size). The cake is 7.5" long, 3.5" high and 5" wide.
Halva lasts for 4-6 months if stored in a cool, dry place, so make sure to keep the shipping container and store whatever you don't eat at your party for another day. We don't recommend freezing halva. Halva is fragile, so be careful when cutting and remember to keep the crumbles for baking, granola or to sprinkle on ice cream another day.

Sesame paste, sugar, glucose, pistachios, saponaria extract
While our halva is made in a certified kosher facility, our Chelsea Market store does not have its own independent kosher certification. This means the halva slices that are individually wrapped to order (0.25lb, 0.5lb, etc.) are not marked kosher. If you order a whole cake, it will be marked kosher.
Enjoy halva by the slice, crumble it over ice cream or granola, make a sweet panini with it… there are so many ways to enjoy this treat!
Our halva is made in small batches by hand, so the texture of each piece is unique and may appear slightly different from what is shown in our photos (e.g. the spread of nuts is not always evenly distributed in each piece).
Halva lasts for 4-6 months when stored in a cool, dry place, but we hope you eat it all before then! You can leave it wrapped in the paper packaging, or transfer to an airtight container. We don't recommend freezing halva, as it may damage its unique flaky texture.
HALVA CAKES: Halva cakes are shipped upside down in a protective container - you'll flip the cake onto a cake stand or cutting board when you're ready to serve. As a natural product, you might see a bit of oil in the container, which is easily absorbed with paper towel before eating. If you’re purchasing a whole cake, we recommend topping it with chopped pistachios for some extra pizzazz.
Each halva loaf cake weighs 3.3 lbs (1.5kg) and serves approx. 20-25 people (depending on serving size). The cake is 7.5" long, 3.5" high and 5" wide.
Each halva cake party size weighs 6.6 lbs (3kg) and serves approx. 40-45 people (depending on serving size). The cake is 5" high with a diameter of 8.5".

Tahini is as versatile as it is delicious. Use it as an ingredient in both savory and sweet dishes, drizzle it over toast or roasted vegetables, or swirl it into oatmeal or a smoothie. The possibilities are endless!
Unopened, tahini lasts for 2 years when stored in a cool, dry place. Once opened, your tahini will last for 12 months. We recommend storing your tahini in the fridge to slow the natural separation of oil, which may start to occur after a few months.
If you notice that your tahini has a layer of oil at the top, that doesn’t mean it’s gone bad! All you need to do is give your jar a good stir before using it.

“Ever since I went to Israel 2 years ago, and discovered “real” halva (not the prepacked stuff I used to see in the deli as a kid), I had been searching for it here in Boston. Until, I discovered Seed and Mill, and then discovered it in the market by my office! Totally addicted!”
- DEBBIE

- ONA
“I LOVE halva and am so happy I found your store. I heard about you in a radio interview on NPR a couple of years ago, and wrote your name down. Here in Michigan, I used to be able to buy halva in Greektown in Detroit, where there were a lot of mom & pop Greek stores that sold big rectangles of halva.”
