Why Are We So Passionate About Tahini?

Made from roasted sesame seeds, ground, and pressed into a paste, tahini has a subtle nutty taste that complements 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 because they contain vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. They’re also a good source of protein and fiber, making them a healthy 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 her motherland’s flavors, she turned to the kitchen to recreate some of her childhood memorable dishes.

Years later, when the family moved to the Northeast, Sweet Tahini 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 and made-with-tahini desserts in the US and in bringing innovation to the plant-based frozen desserts space with our forthcoming tahini-based nondairy ice cream.
