What is tahini? Tahini simply is a ground sesame-seed butter or paste that’s traditionally used in Eastern Mediterranean & Middle Eastern cuisine. Plain-tahini is the base for famous dishes / dips such as Hummus and for Baba-Ganoush dips. Growing up in Greece, tahini is spread on toast accompanied with either honey or chocolate sauce. This jar will introduce you to what our childhood tasted like. Instead of peanut butter & jelly, we had tahini & honey or cocoa. It's even in a Greek nursery rhyme "O Barba Brilios". Experience both spreads from Ariston: both Tahini with Cocoa and Tahini with Honey from Greece. This spread is excellent over toast, or to dip crackers or fruit. This can be described - similar to a smooth peanut spread with honey, only this has sesame seed butter with honey - no peanuts. It has a pleasant, sweet aroma of roasted sesame seeds and honey. Sweet but not overly sweet. Enjoy & Happy Eating! Καλή όρεξη -Doukas Family, Ariston Specialties
