Cortas Premium Pistachio Halva — 2 lb Tin, Lebanese sesame halva with large pistachios, vegan & gluten-free

Cortas Premium Halva with Pistachio is a traditional Lebanese sesame-based confection, hand-crafted for a nutty, melt-in-the-mouth texture and packaged in a 2 lb (907 g) tin.

Made in Lebanon by Cortas, this premium halva blends toasted tahini (sesame paste) with crunchy pistachio pieces for an authentic Middle Eastern sweet. Naturally vegan, gluten-free and free of cholesterol, the product makes a versatile pantry treat—enjoy it straight from the tin, spread on bread, or alongside coffee and tea. The 2 lb (907 g) size suits households, gifting, or small gatherings and emphasizes Cortas’ focus on traditional recipes and reliable sourcing.

What makes Cortas pistachio halva different from other halvas?

Cortas emphasizes high-quality ingredients and a classic Lebanese approach: smooth sesame paste combined with visible pistachio morsels for both flavor and texture contrast. The result is a confection that balances the subtle bitterness of tahini with the buttery sweetness of pistachios.

• Made in Lebanon using traditional halva techniques
• Large pistachio pieces for a distinct crunchy bite
• Vegan and gluten-free formulation—no animal-derived ingredients
• Cholesterol-free, shelf-stable 2 lb (907 g) package

How can I use this 2 lb tin of halva in everyday eating?

This halva works as a standalone snack, a spread, or an ingredient in desserts and breakfast dishes. Because of its dense, sliceable texture, you can portion it thinly for sweet pairings or crumble it into recipes.

• Sliced or crumbled over yogurt, ice cream, or oatmeal
• Spread on toast or crackers for a quick sweet-savory bite
• In baked goods—fold into cookie dough or use as a filling
• Served with coffee, tea, or as part of a mezze board

What should I know about storage, shelf life, and allergens?

Halva is shelf-stable when kept sealed and stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, reseal the container or transfer to an airtight box; refrigeration can prolong freshness but may firm the texture.

• Best kept in a cool, dry pantry or in the refrigerator after opening
• Typical shelf life is several months unopened—refer to package date
• Contains sesame and pistachio; not suitable for nut or sesame allergies
• Vegan and gluten-free, but always check the label for cross-contact warnings
