Chella’s churchkhela is made from ONLY 3 simple ingredients: 100% natural fruit juice, fresh walnuts, and a touch of flour.
The main ingredient in our Churchkhela is 100% natural fruit juice, which is the primary source and determinant of the flavor of the final product. The core of Churchkhela consists of fresh walnuts giving it a rich flavour with a crunchy texture. The various fruit flavors will have their own sweetness and sourness profiles.
The string is not edible and not tasty!
For the walnuts to be coated with fruit juice, they must first be hand threaded onto a string. That string of walnuts is then dipped into the fruit juice. After dipping, the churchkhela is hung by the string so the fruit juice can dry enough to turn into the fresh chewy outer coating.
The presence of the string in our churchkhela serves as proof of the authentic Georgian method that we use to craft this traditional snack.
The string is also used to cut the churchkhela into pieces without a knife or cutting board.

Churchkhela is a snack that can be eaten at anytime 😉, but here are some of our favorite use cases:
- Sliced up on a charcuterie/cheese board as a sweet and nutty addition
- Taken as a nutrient and calorie-dense snack on a hike
- As a convenient meal replacement during your lunch break
- As a portable and complete breakfast on busy mornings
Churchkhela originated 3000 years ago in the region that is now the country of Georgia. Georgia has been a winemaking country since the Bronze Age, where each autumn brought a rich harvest of grapes, various fruits, and nuts. Churchkhela was invented as a way to preserve the surplus grape and nut harvest for consumption during the harsh Georgian winter.
Due to its high nutrient density and naturally long shelf, churchkhela was used as a way of sustaining energy and fueling endurance among warriors and travelers in the Caucasus region.
In modern times, churchkhela is the most popular sweet snack in the Caucasus region. Unfortunately, due to its popularity and demand, most of the churchkhela you will find today is not prepared using the traditional Georgian method.
Store in a dry, ventilated place, at a temperature not exceeding 22°C/71.6°F, like in your pantry!
In these conditions, Churchkhela is good for up to 6 months. However, fresh Churchkhela always tastes better. If stored for a long period, a white coating may appear, don't be alarmed! This is the natural sugar coming to the surface as it dries. This is how Churchkhela stays fresh for so long without any added preservatives (natural sugar from fruit juice acts as a preservative).
Customer Reviews
They are incredible,will order again
I just received my order today and tried two of the five flavors, apricot and grape. The bite is flavorful, chewy and then crunchy! I appreciate trying vegetarian food from different countries and this did not disappoint. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great product! Very tasty and fun to eat!
Fresh flavor, not too sweet and my first time trying. I am glad I did. Very good for traveling and snacking
This was a very good choice one for the variety and one for the pricing.
It came very quickly and it was well packaged, which allowed me to feel safe in consuming.
The flavours are mild and not overly sweet and perfect for Travel and needing a boost after exercising or just wanting a snack.
My only advice would be to maybe wrap in plastic for the item came in a lovely paper wrapping, but my only concern was with the delivery that if the box got wet, the inside items would be affected.
My other observation was if once you place the different flavours together in the package, maybe labelling them for I had to play the guessing game of which flavour I was trying. Each flavour was unique and very fresh tasting, and as I sampled each flavour I was able to try to identify, but some were similar and it was then I wished you had placed a label on the outer package to let me know which one I was consuming.
Overall, I would greatly encourage this wonderful, traditional snack, and as long as the children are not allergic to nuts, I would encourage you to offer this to children as a school snack because it is not overly sweet and it is natural ingredients.
I will definitely keep ordering and I thank you for sharing your traditional cultural food.
