The traditional method of preparing halva is quite difficult:

1. Sesame is rinsed with saline solution, which removes all foreign bodies from the sesame seeds, then it is collected in special baskets.
2. Later, it is rinsed 2-3 more times to remove salinity.
3. Baking takes place in a special tube "psistiria" where special "wings" move the sesame to prevent it from burning.
4. From the roasted sesame, tahini (sesame paste) is prepared using millstones, which is then placed in a semicircular copper vessel called "pasimi".
5. Separately, sugar is boiled with water until it reaches a caramel consistency, to which (after reaching 115 degrees) the previously prepared "tahini" sesame is added.
6. Then the worker puts on special canvas gloves, reaching above the elbows, and begins kneading the "dough".
7. Kneading is particularly difficult because the mixture's temperature is about 80 degrees, very hard to endure and requires skillful handling and great patience to achieve the best results in halva quality.
8. Kneading halva takes about 30 minutes, after which the still warm halva is manually weighed and packaged.
