Tahini: a delicious, authentic culinary creation

Tahini, a creamy paste made from sesame seeds, has been a staple of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine for generations.

It is used in a multitude of recipes, from classics like hummus to sweet desserts, marinades and dressings. While many commercial brands mass-produce tahini, artisanal tahini offers an authentic, incomparable taste experience.

Our handcrafted tahini, made in Europe, is distinguished by its meticulous preparation and commitment to quality.

It starts with the selection of the best sesame seeds to guarantee optimum freshness and flavor.

The sesame seeds are then slowly roasted to release their delicious aroma, while preserving their natural texture and color. This crucial step in the manufacturing process gives artisanal tahini its deep, rich flavor, as well as a light nutty note.

and once torrefied?

After roasting, the sesame seeds are carefully ground on a stone grinder to create a smooth paste.

Tahini artisans ensure that the texture is perfect, neither too liquid nor too thick, so that the final product can be used in a variety of ways in the kitchen.

Unlike commercial products, which often contain additives and preservatives, our homemade tahini contains just one ingredient: sesame seeds.

This process of creating artisanal tahini is not only a guarantee of quality, it's also steeped in tradition.

Not only delicious, it's also rich in essential nutrients. Sesame seeds are an excellent source of protein, fiber, minerals such as calcium and iron, as well as healthy fats, so they can contribute to a balanced, healthy diet.
