About
Tahini is a paste made from sesame seeds. It is commonly used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, and is a versatile ingredient for savory and sweet dishes.
No, our sesame seeds are roasted before they are pressed. Soom Tahini is just sesame, no added salt or oil.

We know how important it is to get Soom creamy, dreamy tahini to you as quickly as possible. That's why our in-house warehouse team works diligently to pack orders within 3-4 days of receiving your order. During busier seasons, it may take up to 7 days for your order to ship.
With the shipping issues we are currently seeing across the nation, transit times have increased significantly. Please use your tracking number to keep an eye on your package. We thank you for your patience!
Depending on the preferred consistency, Soom tahini can be stored in either the pantry or the fridge. For a smoother and more pourable texture, keep Soom tahini in a cool, dry pantry. If you prefer a nut butter-like consistency, keep Soom tahini in the fridge.
Soom Tahini Bites pouches should be fully zipped so that the pouch is airtight, and stored in a cool, dry place.
*Never place a wet or dirty spoon in the jar as it promotes bacterial growth. Ick!
Soom tahini products have a 2-year best by date from the day it was pressed. We recommend using within 12 months of the purchase date.
Once opened, Soom Tahini Bites should be consumed within 30 days of opening.
The best by dates on our jars are in the format DD/MM/YY. So if your jar has a best by date of 18/1/25, it means it’s good until January 18th, 2025.
If the tahini separates and is difficult to re-mix, we recommend removing all contents (oil and solids) from the jar and mixing in a blender. If you have an immersion blender, you can also leave the tahini in the jar and blend right inside!
If the chocolate or dark chocolate tahini separates and becomes hard to stir, make it a warm bath! (No bubbles necessary.) Simply place warm-to-hot water in a bowl and place the jar of chocolate tahini with the lid screwed tightly into the warm bath. (Make sure that no water enters the jar.) Let sit for 3 to 5 minutes. The tahini will be much easier to stir.
Soom tends to be thinner than a lot of other tahini on the market. The ratio of the sesame oil to the sesame “meat” gives it a creamy, pourable consistency. Also, depending on temperature, the tahini may feel a bit thinner or thicker.
The black spots are the tips of the little sesame seeds. Ethiopian White Humera sesame seeds have black tips that are still visible once they're ground. Because Soom products are 100% natural and crops vary each season, some jars have more specs than others. The spots tend to settle at the bottom, just give it a good stir before enjoying. It is 100% safe to eat.
During extremes in weather, either extreme heat or cold, both Chocolate and Dark Chocolate Tahini with Sea Salt may experience crystallization. This is when the sugars crystallize and may appear as white specs in the tahini. This is perfectly normal and safe to eat. Simply mix the tahini thoroughly to reblend. In high heat situations, Dark Chocolate Tahini with Sea Salt may also form a “crunchy” film on top. This is due to the sea salt “melting”, causing condensation on top. When the temperature returns to normal, the salt crystallizes and may form a film. This is also normal and safe to eat, although we are happy to provide a replacement if desired.
Our lables are made with a metallic film so the jar should not be microwaved with the label still attached. If you'd like to warm your tahini, place jar in a warm water bath or remove a portion of tahini and place it in a microwave safe container before heating.
We source our sesame seeds from Ethiopia.
