Crafted With Rich, Buttery Tahini
We use rich tahini paste to create plant-based ice cream with a creamy texture and bold flavors rooted in Eastern Mediterranean history and culture. Our mission is to offer you a superior, exceptional flavor experience and inspire you to explore other people and places while promoting healthier food choices for you and our planet.
Why Tahini?
Made from roasted sesame seeds that are ground and pressed into a paste, tahini has a subtle nutty taste that enhances sweet and savory dishes. It has been a staple in Eastern Mediterranean and Middle Eastern plant-focused diets for generations.
Small yet powerful, sesame seeds are often hailed as superfoods due to their rich content of vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. They are also a good source of protein and fiber, making them a nutritious addition to your diet and an ideal foundation for our nondairy ice cream.
Our Story
The seeds for Sweet Tahini were planted when the founder, Hila Krikov, relocated with her family from Tel Aviv to Lubbock, TX. Homesick for the flavors of her homeland, she turned to the kitchen to recreate some of her most memorable childhood dishes.
Years later, after the family moved to the Northeast, Sweet Tahini was launched to introduce tahini-centered desserts to US consumers.
From sesame-based bread to tahini chocolate fudge and date tahini rolls, Sweet Tahini takes pride in pioneering tahini-based desserts in the US. The brand continues to innovate in the plant-based frozen desserts space with its forthcoming tahini-based nondairy ice cream.
