Why it's worth it

Chałwa (sesame halva) can be found in almost every sweet shop in Poland and is a long-standing shelf staple, with Wedel's vanilla version a common brand. It is not a Czech supermarket regular, so a block of Polish halva is an easy, distinctive buy for anyone who likes sesame sweets.
