Organic Black Tahini - 32 oz, 2 lb, Double Size Black Sesame Paste

What a surprise and delight to find this product. I've been eating tahini sesame seeds for my calcium needs for years. I never realized how much calcium there is in the black tahini. I've been using grinded seesds until now. But needed a way to incorporate sesame flavoring into food that makes it more palatable. This product fits the bill! it. Smooth, creamy, and delicious, it can be eaten on his own, added to salad dressings, to a meal, or a smoothie for a last minute, nutrient blast! I love the taste of it and it works with just about anything.

Product of USA. It’s beautiful glossy velvety black tahini. A little bit too thin, but it’s fragrant and tasty. It’s very good quality. I’m happy with it. I bought the three pack in glass jars, they are well packed. The jar is in double layer bubble wrap, then in a sturdy carton, three packed together. The 12oz small jar once opened doesn’t take much space in the fridge. Product date(?) 062226, BB: June 2028. Thank you Kevala for your great product!

We've ordered it twice so far, and love it. As with normal tahini, you'll find the need to stir it quite a bit , to mix the stuff from the bottom into the more oily stuff up top. I imagine that the vibration and bouncing of delivery trucks helps it separate. But it's always been fresh (not too separated, compared with some tahini which is almost impossible to stir back into shape, if it's been sitting on a shelf too long), and it will stay mixed and ready to use for weeks, especially if kept in the fridge. The flavor is definitely stronger and more earthy than regular tahini (I think part of it is that "regular tahini is hulled sesame seeds, and this contains the hulls). Also, it does turn everything dark/black, which seems a plus to me in that generally the colors in foods are the nutrients we are looking for. I've also read that for some people, black sesame, if consumed daily, can help the body turn grey hair back to its normal color. That would be interesting if it actually works. Meanwhile, it's a great product to replace normal tahini, or nut butters in recipes, add to smoothies, use for a dip- for veggies, like carrots and celery, or just scoop out of the jar to eat (which we do sometimes...). Remember that it's got a lot of oil content, so calories are high, if you're concerned about that kind of thing. I love to mix it with carob powder, a little stevia or honey, and some water to make a thick, almost chocolaty snack. If you eat chocolate, you could use coco powder instead. It's got a lot of calories, but it tastes great! One note on the price, because I see reviews under the 8 pound bucket saying how much more inexpensive it is to buy that way... it's actually not. This 3.5 pound size is the better value per pound. Get out your calculator. Prices may change over time, but as I write this, the 8 pound bucket is about 5.62 per pound, while this 3.5 pound size is only 5.08. Maybe that's why they list the price per pound on the bigger buckets and price per ounce on this size. Or maybe smaller sizes of product are just normally listed by the ounce. Either way, the only better deal than this is on the huge 35 pound bucket, which comes in at 4.12 a pound - with shipping added, it's 4.95. Not much savings there either.

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.

It’s pretty thick, I apply the paste on my toast and it tastes not bad. It’s very healthy and hopefully it helps my hair grow. I personally don’t think it tastes as good as the Chinese sesame paste.

Prior to trying this organic brand, I never tasted black sesame seed tahini. It is really a whole different taste, texture, and Gustatory experience. First, it is completely smooth from the top to the bottom of the jar. A problem that regular tahini has (even the good quality Lebanese kind) is if it sits on the grocery store shelf for a month or longer, sesame oil pools to the top of the jar and a solid mass of tahini forms at the bottom. Not great. The black tahini also has a more rich texture, toasty and a less dry, chalky taste than regular kind. Though I have yet to make hummus with it, to be honest, just eating tablespoons out of the jar is very satisfying. You can also spread it on multigrain bread and drizzle honey on top for a quick healthy snack. Sure, the price point is a bit high, but the quality is well worth the cost. I’m sure that this smooth texture can form the base of a black tahini, salad dressing mixed with certain spices that will bring out its earthiness.

I’ve purchased this product 29 times on Amazon, plus buying it consistently in-person before signing up for Amazon. I’ve noticed the quality of the product getting worse over the last year or so, but this latest shipment August 2026 was simply unacceptable. It was watery and flavorless. I wanted a replacement instead of a refund, since I enjoy having this as part of my diet, and was told that’s not an option. I may have to find a local store for this product from now on

It’s delicious，However, prices change rapidly and significantly.

Excellent product! Delicious and very satisfying. My body needs this! I gave "Easy to use" only 2 stars because of having to repackage the tahini out of the pail into smaller containers. I would order smaller containers if they were available, for ease of use and convenience. However, the larger pail does mean a lower unit price. The product is worth the effort and I will buy again.

The quality of the product is great but the packaging is a bit of a pain. The instructions are so vague, that was no way to figure out what it meant. “Break the opening”… how, where, what? I actually pulled my muscle when I first tried to force the lid open. Then, I went to see the comments and in one of the comments it says pry it open, only then I was able to do open it. So, here’s what you need to do: use a screwdriver or a blunt knife, pry the lid open. Do it all the way around the lid, and then you’ll be able to open it with your fingers.

Roasted one

The products looks good. But I hurt myself when I try to open it using screwdriver. It’s so hard to open!

The instructions to open the lid are right ON the lid. You break the seal all around the rim at the weak points and you pry it open with your fingers. Took me 30 seconds.
