Made on Mount Gerazim, near to a little town called Nablus - the original home of Tahini, the sesame seeds hail from Ethiopia, which some say produce the best sesame in the world. They are washed clean, and then roasted. There is no prescribed formula, but with each batch the roasters perform their duties with their nose as well as their eyes, making sure that the seeds do not catch or overheat. Once peeled, the seeds are double-milled for an incredibly fine finish.

To use Belazu Tahini in a recipe, try making a classic tahini sauce. In a bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of Belazu Tahini, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 crushed garlic clove, a pinch of salt, and enough water to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. Drizzle this over salads, roasted vegetables, or grilled meats. For a delicious dip, mix Belazu Tahini with Greek yoghurt, lemon juice, and a bit of olive oil. You can also incorporate it into hummus by blending cooked chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Its rich, nutty flavour enhances both savoury and sweet dishes.
