Chella™ Churchkhela FAQ
Snack Like 3,000 Years Ago. NaturallyChurchkhela by Chella™ is an All Natural Fruit & Nut Snack that originated about 3000-years-ago. It is a string of threaded walnuts or hazelnuts dipped into a boiled fruit juice thickened with a touch of flour and then hung to dry. The fruit juice mixture slowly cools down and drips off creating Churchkhela’s unique icicle shape and chewy fruit coating
Don't forget to remove the STRING before eating!

Our Churchkhela is powered by The Chella Formula™ 45 % Fruit Juice 45 % Nuts 10 % Flour. Zero Chemicals. Naturally Sweet 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.
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.

Experience Churchkhela the traditional way. Start by holding the walnut-string by the top. Gently pull to remove the natural cotton string from the chewy fruit coating. Then, wrap the string around the bar and pull to slice bite-sized pieces — no knife needed. Savor each naturally sweet bite as part of this ancient ritual. Clean-label. Zero chemicals. 100% tradition.

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).
