Founded by Nektarios Vatsinas, who has over 25 years of experience in the food industry, the company combines a passion for craftsmanship with the highest quality raw materials. Cretan Halva products are made from the purest sesame seeds, without the addition of preservatives or artificial colours, thus retaining their natural flavour and nutritional value.

Founder – Nektarios Vatsinas

Nektarios Vatsinas is passionate about Greek culinary tradition and has been involved in promoting local products on the domestic and international markets for over two decades. His mission is to provide consumers with healthy, nutritious products that are not only tasty but also rich in valuable nutrients. Thanks to his commitment, Cretan Halva has become a recognisable brand offering superfoods such as halva, tahini and nut butters, produced according to traditional methods.

Halva – A traditional sweet treat with high nutritional value

Halva produced by Cretan Halva is not only an excellent sweet snack, but also a source of valuable nutrients. Thanks to the use of sesame as the main ingredient, halva provides the body with:

• Protein – essential for tissue building and regeneration.
• Fibre – which supports the proper functioning of the digestive system.
• B vitamins – crucial for energy metabolism and nervous system function.
• Vitamin E – acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative stress.
• Minerals (calcium, magnesium, iron) – supporting bone, muscle and cardiovascular health.
• Healthy unsaturated fats – beneficial for the cardiovascular system.

Cretan Halva stands out for its natural composition, and its taste and texture are the result of traditional production methods. Sesame, the basis of halva, is rich in lignans and antioxidants, which support the body's immunity and have anti-inflammatory properties. This makes halva not only a sweet treat, but also a valuable part of a balanced diet.

Tradition and handmade production

Cretan Halva places great emphasis on traditional production methods. Each batch of halva is made by hand, which preserves its authentic flavour and highest quality. Thanks to attention to detail and the use of proven recipes, Cretan Halva products are recognised both in Crete and in many other countries.

Product range

In addition to halva, Cretan Halva also offers tahini and nut butters, which are a natural and healthy choice for those who value high-quality ingredients and authentic flavour.

By combining tradition, artisanal production and the highest quality raw materials, Cretan Halva provides consumers with unique Greek products that fit perfectly into the Mediterranean culinary culture.
