    Yes this is made in a town called Farsala in greece so its called Halva Farsalon but they add suger and it turns brown like fudge but the texture of a solid jelly. We just go and buy it from the cake shop it is on a rope with walnuts or a tray without walnuts. We love it, its amazing how different countries have the same delicacies

    The flavour combination sounds great, what varieties of grapes did you use? I noticed they're white but didn't catch the variety. So simple and without using honey or sugar.
    The house is huge, so it's definitely going to take quite a while to finish.

    • @NearbyVeggies

      We have no idea what variety these grapes are. They’re old. It doesn’t matter really, you can use red or white as long as they are sweet. 👍
