For centuries, Azerbaijan was famous for its delicious dishes and a lot of sweets. In Azerbaijan, there are different methods and ways of making sweets, among which you can especially emphasize Sheki's sweets.Among Sheki's sweets, it is possible to highlight Sheki Khalva, which is well known to everyone, and which is eaten with great pleasure. But very few people know that it is prepared from rice flour, and the filling is made from wood and walnuts.In all around Sheki there are shops for the production and sale of khalva, which are called "khalvachi" among the people. Some of them are engaged in the production of khalva for many years, are known for their name and are transferred from genus to genus. Most masters who manufacture khalva have inherited this profession from their fathers and grandfathers. They with dignity continue this profession, teaching the next generation of khalva production, for the further development of crafts.Khalvachi Latifov Yahya Isakh oglu has been producing khalva since 1979. Throughout these years he has gained great success in his work. Currently, Latifov Ulvu Yahya oglu continues the production of khalva with his father.In the house of sweets "Ulvu Yahya oglu", along with Sheki khalva, you can find many other sweets that adorn Sheki's tea table.
