Halva is an oriental sweet that should bring exceptional benefits to the body, since it has a natural composition. This product is made from oilseeds. These could be sunflower seeds, sesame seeds or peanuts. The composition also includes molasses, sugar and a foaming agent - soap root. Halva containing dyes, flavors and flavor enhancers can be a bitter disappointment. Such additives can cause allergies and even disrupt metabolism.

The product of the Rot Front factory, “Halva in Chocolate,” has a completely natural composition. When making halva itself it is used Grated peanuts, grated sesame seeds, molasses, sugar, cocoa powder, licorice root extract, ascorbic acid, which acts as an antioxidant, vanilla flavoring and salt. But the composition of the chocolate glaze leaves much to be desired. It is made from sugar, cocoa mass, cocoa butter equivalent (palm, sunflower, shea butter, illipe), emulsifiers E476 and soy lecithin, vanilla flavoring.

Halva "Rot Front" has a layered fibrous structure and a uniform consistency. It is dark yellow in color because it is made from grated peanuts. The taste of halva is natural, fully meeting the requirements of experts for this product. Chocolate glaze has a pleasant taste and, unlike chocolate, does not melt in your hands. In general, based on the composition, we can say that halva-based candies are truly of high quality.

In many qualities, halva in candies is no different from the usual one made by the same manufacturer. It has a similar structure and taste. Therefore, candies ("Rot Front") "Halva in Chocolate" can be a worthy alternative to this product.

Halva is one of the oldest sweets in the world, known back to the 5th century BC, long before the invention of sugar. Back then it was made from honey, grinding nuts or oilseeds into a paste. The composition also included an extract from soap root, a natural foaming agent that makes the nut-honey paste airy and gives it a whitish tint.

The further process is similar to a very slow beating of this mixture: for several hours it was continuously stirred, from time to time stretching the mass so that the finest sugar threads were formed in it. They are the ones who make the ancient oriental sweetness so melting and tender.

They began to glaze halva with chocolate in the late 19th – early 20th centuries, when solid chocolate appeared, and with it wide opportunities for creating glazed desserts. The glaze, which has a noble chocolate bitterness, makes the taste of halva richer and highlights its nutty component more clearly. At the same time, its structure becomes denser, since the chocolate shell does not allow moisture to evaporate.

Halva "Rot Front"

At the Rot Front factory, halva began to be produced in the 30s of the 20th century, and glazed in the late 60s. The process of its production and composition have remained virtually unchanged since ancient times, except for automation: the sugar-nut mass is kneaded for the same long time, achieving a structure consisting of thin sweet threads. Vanilla is added to it for aroma, and licorice root extract, one of those called soap roots, is used as a foaming agent. Next, separate pieces are formed from the halva and sent for glazing.

Now in the Alyonka online store you can find several varieties of glazed halva “Rot Front”: peanut in the form of small rounded cubes (perhaps the most famous), tahini-almond with crushed nuts, sunflower with a glazed bottom and several varieties of chocolates with halva stuffing.

Such sweets can be classified as “healthy”: hearty and sweet halva is rich in vitamins E and B, calcium, phosphorus and other useful microelements. Much depends, of course, on the seeds or nuts that are part of the halva: peanuts, almonds, sesame seeds, sunflowers. Thus, sunflower contains more vitamin E than other varieties, peanut is especially rich in folic acid, and almond is considered the lowest in calories.

But they all provide the body with the necessary amino acids and minerals - it’s not for nothing that in ancient times halva was considered the sweetness of health. Choose your favorite variety on the website of the Alenka online store and order it for home delivery.
