About Joyva
The year was 1905. The place was a small town in Russia called Kiev. The man was Nathan Radutzky, a simple 22 year old entrepreneur with a recipe and an idea. What he held, was a recipe for one of the oldest known confections in the world. It was eaten by Kings and Titans, and Princes and Sultans. In some parts of the world it was considered a sacred symbol of immortality and life. In other cultures it was thought to promote fertility and sexual response.
It also tasted really, really good. That recipe was Halvah.
The idea was to produce it in the United States. Halvah has been called the Food of The Gods. An ancient Turkish confection, dating back 3000 years was about to be refined, reinterpreted, and reinstated as the food of choice among the eastern European immigrants in the early part of the 20th century. Halvah, which means “sweet meat” in Turkish was going to get a modern twist.
In 1907 the first batch of Halvah was produced on the Lower East Side of Manhattan where you can still buy it today. The Joyva Corporation, in its 99th year of operation, is still a family run business. It is headquartered in Brooklyn, NY. Over the last nine decades we have developed many candy and specialty food items that have been loved for generations. Jell Rings, Marshmallow Twists, Sesame Crunch, Sesame Tahini, and of course our beloved Halvah.

Halvah is a Turkish confection. It is one of the worlds oldest candies.The earliest references date as far back as the year 3000 B.C. The word halvah means literally 'sweetmeat.' Halvah is also called halva, helva, halawa, halava, helava or halwa, and the ingredients include tahini and sugar. Tahini is created by grinding sesame seeds into a smooth creamy butter. Sesame seeds are rich in calcium, zinc, iron, phosphorous, protein, niacin and lecithin and many B complex vitamins. Halvah contains three basic nutrients; protein and vegetable fat from tahini and carbohydrates from sugar. Halvah provides protein and calories, making it an excellent choice for the beginning of the day or for a backpacking energy source.

Unfortunately, the items arrived melted. the chocolate covering was more on the packaging than on the halavah. I learned a lesson and not to order it during the summer. I refrigered the item and I can eat it but looks too bad to share with guests.
After cooling of item the 2 bars melted into one. I will order again as the price was right and neither my sister or I can find it locally.
-
Arrived on time although it was a little bit melted, but that's to be expected since I live in Florida. Tasted good. Will buy again.
-
Product was just as I remembered from days past. Arrived in excellent condition. Would probably order again.
-
Where I live, you can't find Halvah! It was a big favorite in my family back in the 50's, so needless to say I was so happy to get the best price from Lucky Vitamin and fast shipping! I will order again and while I am at it, check out thier other amazing deals! Thank You Lucky Vitamin..
