Tahini

Belazu's Tahini is produced on Mount Gerazim, near the ancient Palestinian town of Nablus, widely regarded as the original home of tahini. The sesame seeds are sourced from Ethiopia, a region celebrated by many for producing the world's finest sesame, and are carefully washed and roasted in small batches. Each roast is managed by skilled artisans who rely as much on instinct and sense of smell as on any fixed formula, ensuring the seeds never catch or overheat. The peeled seeds are then double-milled to achieve an extraordinarily fine, silky finish that is distinctly superior to mass-produced alternatives.

The result is a tahini that is richly nutty, beautifully balanced, and luxuriously smooth, with a clean flavour that reflects nothing but the exceptional quality of the sesame itself. Belazu's decades of experience in sourcing the finest Mediterranean and Middle Eastern ingredients means every element of production is considered and uncompromising.

Endlessly versatile in the kitchen, it forms the backbone of a great hummus, transforms into a dressing when loosened with lemon juice and garlic, and pairs brilliantly with roasted cauliflower or aubergine. Swirled through yoghurt as a marinade, drizzled over warm vegetables, or used as the base for a rich tahini sauce, this is a genuine pantry hero.
