Eskişehir Met Helva Evi

About the Venue

Continuing the traditional production of met helva — Eskişehir's most distinctive sweet — this spot enchants visitors with both its spectacle and its flavour. Watching the helva being pulled into shape is a delightful experience in itself. Met helva is made by boiling sugar, water and lemon to the right consistency, then, as it begins to cool, pulling and folding it repeatedly between two people. Thanks to this long pulling process, the helva whitens, gains a fibrous structure and a soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture. Served sprinkled with walnut or Antep pistachio, met helva is a nostalgic flavour to be savoured with a tea in the historic streets of Odunpazarı.
