Yum! Absolutely scrumptious flavor and delectable texture! I used this tahini as an ingredient in baba ganoush and it turned out so, so good! Super fast shipping. The only problem was the packaging: the jar lid was cracked and only held on by some cellophane wrap. The wrap prevented leaks so there was not much mess, but obviously the jar had received some bumps along its route that would require some bubble wrap to alleviate. I was in a time crunch (3 over-ripe garden eggplants) so, rather than reordering, I transferred the contents to a Ball jar and used despite the broken seal.
I read several negative reviews about leaking and bitter taste. Firstly, it arrived super quick and wrapped in a thick layer of plastic wrap. The lid was secure and safety seal in tact. It tastes great. It tastes like tahini. It is in fact a bit watery as some brands differ in product consistency. This is perfect for me because I use it for drizzling and as dressing. Give it a good stir making sure to scrape all the way to the bottom. I will be purchasing again!
Amazing!!!! Just arrived, opened the jar, put a spoon in, and put the most delicious perfect tehina right in my mouth! WOW!!! impressive.
And I lived in Israel in for many years so I know what quality tehina should taste like.
Apparently this is made from organic sesame seeds, nothing else added. It is smooth, not too runny at all, and sweet-tasting - which is to say, not bitter. Actually there is just the merest hint of bitter, just enough to remind you that you are, after all, tasting sesame. "Butter, not bitter". Ha.
I proceeded to make a great batch of hummus using this. It lends just the right elusive note; a top-notch tahini is the only way to achieve that. A 16-ounce jar really isn't too much though it should be kept refrigerated as anything with high oil content and no preservatives is in danger of becoming rancid, especially in higher temperatures. Somehow the level of tahini in the jar is already lower than one batch of hummus should render it. Could it be that I am taste-testing it rather frequently? If you want to know, it does have a peanut butter consistency but of course a sesame taste.
And finally, if you're worried about Amazon shipping a glass jar, you should know that some conscientious employee completely encased mine in bubble wrap, which was secured with tape. And there was packing material in the box. So barring a train wreck, this stood a great chance of getting to its destination intact. Which it did.
Very flavorful and rich with the perfect consistency. I have a plant based food blog called The True Spoon and i'm always looking for a great easy ingredient to add flavor to roasted veggies and salads, the kevala tahini is very versatile and great on ton of plant based recipes. I added this tahini to my roasted winter vegetables with tahini dressing recipe and it was delicious

Description
Kevala Organic Tahini is made only with the finest selected sesame seeds. These are roasted and stone ground to obtain a delectable and creamy texture, enjoy! This product has a safety seal over the lid to prevent leaks, it is food grade and tamper proof.
We usually get a different brand of organic tahini that we use Subscribe-&-Save for, but lately we've been on a big tahini yogurt kick and were running low well before our next shipment would have arrived, so we ordered a jar of this Kevala brand to tide us over.
(Tahini yogurt, you ask? Yes! Just add 1-4 tablespoons of tahini to a 5-6oz cup of yogurt and stir well. Sometimes we add either pomegranate molasses or jallab syrup for an even more Middle-Eastern flavor, and of course unsalted shelled pistachios are a great addition.)
This tahini had excellent flavor, rich and nutty and not too bitter, and we could tell it was fresh by how little it had settled at the bottom of the jar. There was no separated oil at the top of the jar at all. We're very pleased with this product and will probably buy it again.
I had never prepared anything with Tahini in it myself, and I bought this because it was organic. I can see how some people would say it has a strong taste, but since I don't have anything to compare it to, I will not say that it is bad. My humus is definitely better with it added. I will try adding only half the amount next time I make some and compare the taste. There was no problem with the packaging and it arrived 2 days later. I will order it again.
Dear Merciful Heavens this is the best Tahini I have ordered to date. Fulfillment was withing two days, just in time for Falafel Friday. My hummus is also greatly improved by this product. So far it has been one of my favorite Amazon purchases, and I will be ordering more soon as I go through Tahini like water when we are on a Mediterranean kick.
I have been looking for a good organic Sesame butter for a while and have tried a couple of other brands. I like this one because it tasted fresh and it is made in the U.S. The only reason for not giving it 5 stars b/c it tastes a little bitter compared to other Sesame butters that I have tried. I mix it with some maple syrup and black strap molasses to create a tasty healthy spread and use it on toast.
This has become a staple in our household. I don't like it as runny as it comes, so I let it sit for a while and drain off some of the sesame oil, bottle that and use it for other cooking needs. When I siphon off all I can, I mix the remainder all up and refrigerate it. Because it is now thicker, I can use it in various nut butter recipes.
