Al Wadi Tahina, Ground Sesame 100%, 32-Ounce Jars (Pack of 2)

Alwadi has the best home made Tahina! Even without adding water, lemon and garlic it has a great taste. Price is fair for a high quality. I used to bye this Tahina a few years back in the California and just came across it now online and could not resist to by some. The first order came packed well but one pair of jars poped and the thina was out of the jar. luckily it was packed well in a strong bag so all i had to do is wash it. After a short chat with costumers service i was sent new tahini and all is well!Highly recommended!

My wife and I make and go through a 2-lb. batch of hummus a week (we pack it for lunch every day) - we have been doing this for 3 years. I just used the Al-Wadi tahini I got via Amazon and it made the best batch of hummus I have ever had. Until now I have been using tahini I bought at the nearby supermarket, and I always thought that the bitterness I tasted was just a natural part of the tahini. The Al-Wadi has nothing but pure nutty creaminess and no bitterness. I also noticed that it is runnier than what I usually get, indicating that it has a higher oil content and also that it was in fresher condition than what I had been buying. It had not had time to settle out and clump up at the bottom - so it's easier to use. Buying it this way is also much cheaper than what I have been getting at the store. So I think I have found my Secret Key Ingredient for great hummus and will stick with this from now on.

I always buy tahini at the supermarket and I'm used to it being the consistency of peanut butter, with a thin layer of oil at the top that must be stirred in. This was my first experience with Al Wadi Tahina. The Amazon price is fantastic, coming out at about a third of what I pay at the supermarket ounce per ounce. It has a rich sesame flavor and tastes very good. I was very surprised at the thin consistency. It's like a sauce, not a spread. It is so thin that I can put a long spoon in the bottle and stir it around without running into anything resembling peanut butter. It pours out of the jar like sauce. I tipped the second jar and could see that it was just as thin, so it wasn't a fluke. I feel like there's a very high oil to solid ratio. I was still able to measure it to the same amount I normally use in my hummus and the flavor came through just fine.Also, the lids were on tightly and the plastic seal was intact, but oil had still seeped out of both jars and made them slippery. I don't believe that air entered the bottles, it was probably more of a vacuum effect during packaging and I feel it is safe to eat.Overall, I'm happy with the purchase and I'm sure I'll order again because it's a great value.

I've tried a variety of tahini brands and this is far better and fresher tasting than even the organic brands.If you are curious about consistency, well, this tahini/tahina is about the same consistency as cashew butter or sunflower butter. Very oily and you definitely want to manually stir it really well before you refrigerate it. Once you have stirred it and refrigerated it, the texture remains consistent.-Even though it is not stated anywhere on the label, I am guessing this tahini is lightly toasted because it is not as bitter as the raw tahini that I have eaten. There is still a teensy bitterness but mostly buttery, nutty flavor comes through. The high oil content [to me] means quality, because, frankly I don't want a thick paste that I can't work with, I like having enough oil content so that once stirred and refrigerated, is not thick and pasty, but, rather thin and more like a thick oil.I love spreading this on my rye crackers with a few pinches of pink sea salt. Because this is a thin tahini, I can portion control this much easier than I can with thick-as-mortar tahini.Sesame oil is so good for you too! Google it! :)

On opening the first container I was taken back by the texture -- this was the most oily tahini I have ever used. It was as if I hadn't stirred it at all -- very oily and mixed with liquids rather oddly too. Not sure I will use this brand again -- maybe it was just because it was old stock? Anyway, for now I will use it.

What a mess. One of these sealed and never used containers turned on its side in the pantry. Sesame oil EVERYWHERE! The jar lid was lose. Checked the other jar and under the seal, it EASILY turned a 1/4 to a 1/2 turn indicating how lose the lid was. Lid machine not sealing lids on jars properly.Taste: Very mild and without bitterness. Not many solids. Would be great to replace part of the cooking oil in making sweet items where sweet items would benefit from this taste. There are recipes on the net for making cookies etc. using sesame oil or tahini.Next time I order, I plan to check jars under their lids and know that I may have to pour the contents into another container which I can screw the lid down properly. Check the outside of the jars and if there are any oil deposits, just open and transfer at that moment. Cleaning up a quart of sesame oil/tahini from your pantry shelf is the worst kind of choir.Jim in So Calif

I didn't know what to expect when I ordered this. I am a huge hummus lover but I've always bought them from my Sam's Club store in the big tub. I love the roasted red pepper flavor. Anyway if you love hummus then you know it can be a pretty expensive habit. I bought this so that I can start making my own at home and maybe even make other exciting flavors. Well this did the job. It gave my hummus that special taste it needed. My hummus came out delicious. Not quite like that famous store brand but it comes close. The price was great and was delivered in two days. It was packaged properly too. I would definitely buy this again compared to having to spend a lot of money buying already made hummus from the store. Now I can say I know how to make my own hummus. I have no complaints on this. I would buy again and again.
