This is the best Tahini that I have used (and I tried more than 15 different brands).

I used it for both making a great Hummus and Tahini

I've been buying various brands of tahini for decades, and this stuff is by far the best tasting I've ever found. It's delicious even before adding anything.

In shipping, one bottle developed a crack and leaked tahini all over the other bottles, as well as the box it was in. Tahini being what it is, the result was quite a spectacular mess! However, as soon as I informed Amazon they immediately overnighted a replacement shipment. And with some cleanup the three other bottles were fine. :)

Gotta love that.

This was packaged well with no spills. This product is a little more liquid than other brands I've used, but the taste makes up for that. Excellent to make hummus with.

The packaging isn't too sophisticated, and (as another review mentioned) it's more liquid than other kinds of tahini, but it really tastes great.

This how I've used it:
A Goya package of dry chickpeas - dipped in water for 24 hours, then boiled for 3 hours
About 8 ounce Tahini
Half a cup water
Lemon juice
Salt
Garlic
Blend everything until smooth

I have had tried about a million brands of tahini over the years and this is probably the best I have tried. Most tahini's are bitter but this one isn't. It almost has a lightly salty taste, but it is 100% sesame seed. It is even good enough to eat straight on toast, which I never liked before. I don't know what they do to make it taste better than most, maybe the ground the seeds are grown in?!

When I was trying to turn my family on to tahini I made sure I gave them some of the Roland brand because I didn't want them to get turned off by tahini forever by giving them a more bitter brand.

This brand does not exactly get oil settling on the top but it does have thicker tahini settle a little on the bottom. It ends up being a little runny in comparison to most tahini's because of this. You might try shaking it or even better stirring it a little to balance out the tahini and add the thickness from the bottom.

I have ordered this brand and other tahini's here, from Amazon, and have yet to have the mess others have claimed. But, I have had one or 2 issues with other products here and Amazon was always really quick to resolve the problem.

I have a feeling by the taste that this tahini is roasted even though there is no mention of that. So, if you prefer raw tahini you might not want this one. If you don't mind that it might not be raw then I highly recommend you give this brand a try!

other than the precipitate is too thick (hard to scoop), the quality is OK. the package received messy since one of the bottles was leaking.

As others have noted, this is a more liquid-y product than some other sesame tahinis on the market. That being said, it's by far the freshest-tasting, least bitter tahini I've bought in many years.

A great discovery.

I can't quite put my finger on what makes this tahini better than the other brands I've tried. Maybe the sesame seeds they use have slightly more natural sweetness or something, but this is the first tahini that's so good I like to eat it straight out of the jar.

I usually purchase Roland Tahini in one of two stores nearby. Neither had it in stock for a month+, so I decided to turn to Amazon, which had it priced more competitively anyway. Store bought Tahini was always settled with a very thick (impossible to stir) clump at the bottom. The shipment from Amazon arrived fresh & stirred - no clump! Excellent product & great price!

A great product for a key ingredient for making humus and saving a lot of money over the store made humus. Make your own and you will never want to spend 3 bucks for ten ounces again.
