I've used the Eden, Zyad (sp?), Jyovial (sp?), Artisana....I've read reviews and comments and blogs....anyone have a favorite? If yes, which is it and why? Thanks.

Me, too, wallycat. Plus more, Krinos, Trader Joe's, etc. Never done a side-by-side though and I feel like that's what I'd need! An expensive endeavor. What are you looking for? Less bitterness? More pourable? Just curious!

My hands down, no second thoughts, no hesitation favorite tahini is SOOM. Next favorite options include Trader Joes, Whole Foods, or Joyva. But SOOM is the bomb!

Thanks Karen.
Erin, I wanted something "authentic," but I realize that in this international world, that may not mean much. The Joyva seemed super hard to mix and tasted almost burnt. The Eden and Artisana were pretty close. Ziyad was good and it was rated #1 by America's test kitchen. Milk Street raves about SOOM...
I guess that brought me to wonder what qualifies as a "good" tahini.
I've read that Asian sesame paste is not similar to tahini because it is toasted, but some tahini uses toasted sesame seeds. I went down a rabbit hole and figured I'd just post here.

I've tried Soom, too! Must have seen the MS recommendation. I suppose it is as individual as what makes good butter or what makes good salsa. If you land on a favorite, let us know  |
