In some old books and documentaries, halva was made in houses during Ottoman time and distributed among friends and neighbors. Especially on the first day of the 3 important months in the Islamic calendar (Hijri Recep, Shaban, Ramadan), homemade halva is made and placed in small bowls and distributed to every neighbor.

Halva is a common dessert in Turkiye and many Middle Eastern countries. There are many varieties of halva in many different countries.

Flour halva (un helvası) and semolina halva (irmik helvası) are common in Turkish cuisine. Basic ingredients are flour (for un helvası) and semolina (for irmik helvası). Cooked with butter, oil, sugar, milk, and cream.
