Our tahini is distinguished by a delicious aroma and a fine texture guaranteed by carefully selecting the sesame seeds for processing. In fact, selection of the seeds is a key factor in producing a high or low quality product. Color, taste, and oil content are the main factors determining the quality and thus price of sesame seeds.

Sesame seeds undergo many preparation steps starting from pre-cleaning of natural seeds, to hulling, washing, roasting, post-cleaning and finally color sorting before grinding them into a paste commonly known as tahineh or tahini.

Tahini is a traditional ingredient in many Middle Eastern dishes such Hummus (chickpea dip) and Baba ghanoush (eggplant dip). Hummus, a Middle Eastern appetizer that has become a universal favorite is made of ground chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and tahini. Baba ghanoush, another favorite appetizer known throughout the Middle East, has a base of roasted eggplant seasoned with tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. These sesame-based dishes have been handed down from generation to generation for centuries.
