The East Jerusalem Goods Company connects food and food-lovers; hand picking suppliers who honor and respect their ingredients, and the traditions of each product. When our clients around the world are delving in to the world of eastern Mediterranean cuisine, they can rely on us that the products they are receiving are the genuine article. Our Natural Gourmet Tahini encapsulates the palate of the Levant entirely. Our gourmet chef Kamal Hashalmon sources organic sesame seeds from Ethiopia where they are raised on fair trade farms. He brings the seeds to his production centers in Nablus and Jerusalem where he begins the slow and methodical process of turning the sesame seed in to our flagship Natural Gourmet Tahini. First, the seeds must be soaked in a salt water solution to allow the husks to be cleanly separated from the kernel; only once the separation is complete are the kernels removed and meticulously rinsed in fresh water. The next step is to thoroughly dry the sesame seeds; this is done over a half-day, utilizing a specially crafted oven to provide the perfect environment for the drying. Only now, can the next chapter of the story begin – the grinding. Traditional methods call for the sesame seeds to be ground between massive stones; for this purpose Kamel uses millstone which he bought from Syria; they have been pulverizing sesame seeds for generations, and continue to do so for our clients. Finally, many hours after the enterprise began, the final product comes in to being; pure, unadulterated natural homemade tahini.

The Natural Gourmet Tahini is excellent for use in salads, baking, and for replacing oils. For a salad dressing with a difference, try mixing the tahini with watermelon and a splash of olive oil; the result is fresh, summery, and uniquely flavorsome.  The tahini created by East Jerusalem Goods Company is healthy, vegan, fair trade, and gluten free.
