When you think of sesame delights like halva and creamy tahini, one name stands out in Israel: Achva. Founded in 1929 in Tel Aviv, Achva has grown from a small artisanal workshop into a household name, celebrated for nearly a century of sweet tradition.

A Name That Means “Unity”

The Hebrew word Achva (אחוה) means “unity” or “brotherhood.” The brand was founded by friends from Turkey, Greece, and Russia who shared a passion for sesame-based sweets. They chose the name to symbolize their cooperation and shared vision.

What Makes Achva Special

  • Signature products: Achva is best known for its rich, crumbly halva and silky tahini, but also produces delicious cakes and pastries.
  • Quality & innovation: From traditional vanilla halva to flavors like pistachio, marble, and sugar-free options, Achva balances old-world recipes with modern tastes.
  • Healthy heritage: Halva is not just candy – it’s packed with natural sesame goodness, offering protein, minerals, and healthy fats.

A Global Favorite

Achva is a market leader in Israel, holding more than half of the halva market, and its products are exported around the world – from North America and Europe to Australia and South Africa. For many, Achva is more than food – it’s nostalgia and culture in every bite.
