From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Churchkhela (also written churchkhella, Georgian: ჩურჩხელა, Russian: чурчхела, Turkish: 'pestil cevizli sucuk', literally "a walnut sujuk") is a traditional candy originating from the Caucasus, namely in Georgia, and also common in Russia and Turkey.
Churchkhela are walnuts sewn onto a string, dipped in thickened white grape juice and dried. In Armenia the equivalent of churchkhela is named lavash, the same name as the traditional bread.
