Why our tahini is different
Thick and dense
Palestinian tahini holds its shape on a spoon. A little goes a long way.
Roasted sesame you can taste
The roasted sesame flavour leads. Nothing hides it.
Nothing added to thin it
Pure sesame paste, with no flavour enhancers or fillers.
The people behind the jar
Bashar Al-Salhi carries a family craft that goes back generations in Jerusalem’s Old City. Together with his partner Ayman Mashareqa, he founded Beit Al Dimashqi to bring that craft into a modern factory.
Quality you can trace
Every production batch is recorded, so any jar can be traced back to how and when it was made.
