There are dozens of halva varieties among Mediterranean cultures, and halva made with tahini is one of the most iconic confections in traditional grocery stores in Greece and the Levant. Athanassios Matis was likely the first to produce tahini based halva in mainland Greece, when he brought his craft to Trikala from his home of Aivali, in Asia Minor in 1898. Matis Halva with Vanilla has a soft, fudge-like texture and rich, toasted-sesame flavor, with a hint of vanilla and the nutritional value of tahini.
