How is Halwa Chamia made ?
Papillon is a well-known candy that is much appreciated
by youth as well as by adults.
Called Halwa Chamia in Tunisia, Halwa or else Halva in other
countries. Papillon is made out of a mixture of tahina and
nougat.
Tahina is made out of sesame seeds selected in countries such
as Sudan, India, China…
Once in our factory, the sesame seeds are carefully controlled
and stocked. In the first production stage, the sesame seeds
are cleaned through a process of washing and elimination of
impurities: these seeds are then shelled so that only the
pulp is left.
In the next stage, they are dried and sieved to remove any
remaining impurity. After roasting and cleaning them a second
time, the sesame seeds are ground in three stages to obtain
thus the Tahina, a sort of fluid dough of a great finesse
and with a very weak granulometry ensuring the specificity
and high quality of Papillion Halwa Chamia.
As to the nougat, it is the fruit obtained after cooking a
mixture of sweetened water and Glucose at a 140° c temperature.
This cooking is followed by intensive beating in order to
obtain a white and creamy mousse.
Tahina and Nougat are finally blended at low speed to finally
obtain Papillon Halwa Chamia.
