Sheki halva
Şəki halvası
Fine threads of rice-flour batter are laid in a lattice over a walnut or hazelnut filling, soaked in honey and marked with saffron. It is sold in the shops of Sheki's old town and keeps well as a gift to take home.
Halal dining can be arranged at every hotel we recommend; tell us your preferences and we brief the chefs before you arrive.
