Crushing on sesame.

We’re always willing to sound the trumpet for tahini—it's one of the most versatile ingredients in our cooking arsenal. Brooklyn Sesame’s Tahini is some of the best we’ve ever tried (and we’ve tried a lot). It’s smooth, creamy, and full of that nutty, sesame-y tahini flavor. For the uninitiated (we’re glad you’re here!), tahini is a paste made exclusively from crushed sesame seeds. It produces something magic that stirs up into a salad dressing, adds unexpected dimension to a cake or pie, or sings all by itself, simply smeared on a slice of toast.

Halva spread is a sweetened version of tahini, kissed with honey—think of it like the love child of peanut butter and sesame seeds. Brooklyn Sesame’s is mildly sweet and very spreadable, with unhulled roasted sesame seeds for a satisfyingly crunchy pop!

Choose from 2 jars of the tahini, or 1 jar each of the tahini and the halva. Interested in the halva only? Right thisaway!

Meet the Maker

Brooklyn Sesame

Brooklyn, NY
Although Brooklyn Sesame founder Shahar Shamir had been cooking since he was eight, it wasn’t until after he had a slice of fresh halva during a visit to his native Israel that he thought about making the traditional Mediterranean sweet himself. Back in Brooklyn, he craved his childhood treat but wanted to indulge in an adult version that reflected his commitment to healthy eating. Since sugar-heavy commercial halva was not an option, he experimented with ingredients until he found the perfect balance of ingredients. The result was a deconstructed, mildly-sweet, spreadable version of halva that was an instant hit at dinner parties. When friends started offering to buy his halva, he recognized the opportunity to introduce his culinary traditions to the Brooklyn food scene and Brooklyn Sesame was born. Shahar began selling the spreads at the Brooklyn Flea and Smorgasburg, and watching the delighted reactions from everyone who tried the products inspired him to expand his business -- staying true to his artisanal roots while pursuing his passion for flavor and authenticity.
