Koska has been making halva in Istanbul since 1907, and their Extra Walnut Tahini Halva is one of the clearest examples of why the brand endures. The base is ground sesame paste — tahini — sweetened and pulled into the characteristic dense, crumbly block that defines Turkish tahin helvası. Through that block runs a generous scattering of walnut pieces: the "ekstra cevizli" (extra walnut) designation means the walnut content is noticeably higher than in a standard walnut variant, giving you a distinct crunch against the soft, melt-forward paste.
The flavor profile follows that structure: the sesame is deep and slightly bitter, the sugar rounds it without making it cloying, and the walnuts add a mild, earthy richness that anchors the whole thing. It is the kind of sweet you eat slowly, with coffee or tea, rather than in one go.
Halva occupies a specific place in Turkish food culture — it is served at celebrations, offered with afternoon coffee, and gifted during visits. This 400 g box presents well and travels easily, making it a straightforward choice when you want to bring something genuinely Turkish to a table.
