Description
This Turkish halva from the house of Beşe is out of the ordinary: a soft, melting paste made with 52% tahini, scented with rose and scattered with petals. A Turkish halva sweet with a delicate floral flavour.
The 450 g tub holds a halva with a dense, creamy and tender texture, prepared without palm oil. Sesame dominates, softened by the rose.
It goes with a Turkish coffee or tea, is enjoyed alone in small pieces, or goes into oriental desserts. A lovely gift for anyone who loves floral sweets.

Our verdict on Beşe rose halva
Review written by the Air d’Orient team · Updated on 19 September 2026
We have studied Beşe rose halva, its technical sheet and competing versions to pick out its strengths and limits.
The strengths
- A tahini-rich halva, with 52% sesame paste.
- A melting texture, creamier than classic halva.
- A scent of rose: brought by real petals.
- A recipe without palm oil, simple and traditional.
Good to know
- A marked floral note: rose is not to everyone’s taste. For a classic flavour, choose plain halva.
- A sweet treat: serve it in small portions.
Where we lean: for a melting and original rose halva, it is a lovely discovery. For the classic pistachio flavour, see the Durra below, and find all our sweets in our oriental sweets section.

Beşe classic Turkish halva uses the same melting paste, without the rose. It will please anyone who prefers pure sesame. The rose version is more original.
Durra pistachio halva has a crumbly texture, studded with pistachios. It is the most classic halva. Beşe rose is creamier.
Dorimed plain halva is a traditional plain halva. It showcases sesame alone. Beşe rose brings a floral note.
