Share The Sweetness: Ħelwa Tat-Tork Spread Has Just Landed In Malta
Mill-kċina taz-Zija (translating to ‘from the Auntie’s kitchen’) is a Maltese brand consisting of a variety of products based on traditional Maltese recipes, dishes and ingredients. It’s all about quality, comfort/home food, prepared in the way our ‘aunties’ used to, conveniently available in your freezer, fridge or cupboard.
It’s very likely that you have already heard of Ħelwa tat-Tork – a rich and crumbly yet soft and fluffy treat made from sesame seed paste and almonds. It’s quite common here in Malta to have it served with coffee or tea after a hearty Sunday lunch.
And if you thought you tasted it all… wait until you try the newest addition to the range that has hit the Maltese taste buds by storm: mill-kċina taz-Zija Ħelwa tat Tork SPREAD! A delight for the Halva lovers, and without a doubt, a nice surprise for the sceptics.
For a more traditional taste, use the Spread on a piece of fresh Maltese bread and immerse yourself in flavour! You can also pair it with fruits, on top of your waffles and pancakes or even add to your favourite ice-cream…
The smooth and creamy consistency makes it ideal to use directly as a spread, but also as an ingredient. You can use it in your cakes, with some hot croissants, or even blend in your milkshakes. Either way, the possibilities are endless, and its rich taste will surely keep you coming back for more!
