One of the Oldest Flavors: The Legend of Macun and Stone Hall
For 40 years, Kadir Uzunoğlu has been making a living by selling Cevizli Hell, also known as Walnut halva, a beloved traditional treat that has stood the test of time. This delectable dessert is not only popular for its rich flavor, but also for its health benefits.
Known as ‘paste’ or ‘stone halva’ among locals, Walnut halva is a favorite choice, especially during the winter months when people are looking for warm and comforting treats. The demand for this sweet delicacy increases as the temperature drops, as it is believed to help keep people cozy during the cold weather.
Uzunoğlu points out that the number of halva sellers has decreased over the years, but the love for Walnut halva remains strong. Not only is it a treat for the taste buds, but it is also known for its health benefits. Some people even refer to it as ‘macun’ or ‘stone halvası’ due to its unique texture and taste.
So, next time you’re looking for a sweet and satisfying treat to warm you up during the winter season, consider indulging in a delicious serving of Walnut halva. Its rich flavor and health benefits make it a truly irresistible choice for those seeking a taste of tradition.
