Kevala Organic Black Tahini, 12oz, 154640

I got this tahini because I wanted something a little different to mix into hummus and salad dressings, and it’s been a great pantry staple overall. It’s organic and made from unhulled black sesame seeds, so the flavor is richer and deeper than the regular tahini I had before, and it adds a nice nutty flavor to both sweet and savory dishes. I like how creamy and smooth the texture is, which makes it easy to blend into sauces or even just spread on toast, and the jar feels like it lasts a long time. I did notice that it’s a bit on the thicker side, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Overall I appreciate the bold taste and versatility, and haven't encountered any problems so far.

The taste is pretty strong so I recommend starting with a small amount. It can also make some foods look pretty unappetizing but if you can overlook appearance it is fine.

Been searching for a good black tahini for a while and this one really delivers. The ingredient list is exactly what it should be, pure with nothing unnecessary, and the taste is clean without any bitterness you sometimes get with sesame. I’ve been using it pretty much everywhere. On toast it’s great, and I recently swirled it through banana bread batter for this dramatic black ribbon effect that looked way more impressive than the effort it took. Highly recommend that move. Also, and I say this with full sincerity, it makes an excellent tiny mustache if you’re looking to entertain the people around you. My family was not as amused as I was but I stand by it ;)

The one I normally buy is out of stock so I have this one a try. Flavor and consistency are great but this is literally a picture of how little was in the jar when it arrived. I had not even tasted it yet, the knife is just there to help with the visual of how much was missing when I opened it.

It is organic and smooth. A slight bitterness.
