Bayramiç tahin helvası

As the name suggests, this halva hails from the Bayramiç district. It is a dessert made with tahini (a paste consisting of toasted and ground sesame seeds), sugar, citric acid, and water. When cooked, it is chilled and placed into molds. The result is a dessert with a distinctive texture and nutty flavor. This halva has been made since the 1870s, and it is exclusively associated with the Bayramiç district, where the specific production method has been passed down through generations. Since 2021, it has been a protected regional product.
