Oh so goso!

This tahini is insanely good and totally transcendent. It makes the creamiest, yet fluffiest hummus with such a deep roasted flavor to it. In Korean cuisine, one the main flavors is called goso- 고소. Though there is not a direct equivalent to goso in English, it can best be described as a deep and savory, roasted nuttiness/sesame-ness flavor. Soom tahini totally hits my goso spot!

Tahini Matters

I didn't realize, in my gastronomic ignorance, that different tahinis have very different qualities, like olive oil or wine. This tahini has educated me on how important it is to buy a good tasting tahini in order to get good results in recipes using it. I thought I didn't really like it, having only had what is sold in the hinterlands, but Soom tahini completely changed my opinion. It makes wonderful hummus and salad dressings with its light, but definite sesame taste. The tahini stays much softer in the refrigerator than the awful stuff we can find locally, which makes it much easier to use. I am so happy to have found this product!

Makes Great Israeli Hummus!

When it arrived, I tasted the tahini right out of the jar, and it is as good as the King Halva tahini I had in Tel Aviv. I made the most delicious hummus, using this tahini. My first time making good tahini! I was trying to get the light, fluffy texture and delicious, subtle flavor of the hummus I'd had in Tel Aviv, and it worked! Highly recommend Soom tahini! Update: I tried 2 different brands of tahini that had high Amazon reviews. The other brands made good hummus ... but I ordered more Soom and was able to once again make GREAT hummus!

I had no idea what I was missing out on...

I love to make hummus. It's become something of an obsession the past two years as I've tried different recipes. One of my favorites (and a very popular one) recommended this tahini. For a year or more I rolled my eyes. I'd tried plenty of different store bought tahinis and they were all roughly the same. I'd read plenty of recipes that claimed "YOU MUST USE THIS ONE HOLY INGREDIENT," and 99/100 times they were just trying to sell you some overpriced whatever. So after a year or so I was having issues getting the exact consistency I wanted, and I decided to give Soom a try. Immediately upon opening you can tell the difference. It has a much smoother, less viscous texture. It's significantly easier to whip, giving your hummus a much lighter quality (although honestly the whipped tahini w/ lemon and garlic is delicious on its own). Anyway, I now have a monthly subscription to their tahini and have ventured into other fun recipes like baba ganoush and halvah. If you're on the fence, just give it a try. I'm pretty sure it will convince you too.

Top notch tahini, maybe the best available online

This tahini is absolutely fantastic. A mark of great tahini is that the paste and the oil don't separate--if you go to your supermarket and look at a bottle of tahini, you will say a layer of oil on the top. This isn't the case with Soom, which can only occur if the manufacturer uses very high quality sesame seeds and a very careful process. If you see any black stuff in the bottle don't worry about it. I did and contacted Soom and they kindly answered: "The black stuff is actually tiny bits of the hull on the sesame seed. The points at the end of each seed are black, and the hulling process always leaves a little behind. Usually, you will never even see it, but once in awhile, they gravitate into one area. They are perfectly harmless." Absolutely delicious. Great product from a great company.

Unequaled so far

This stuff is amazing and yes it really is better than any others I've tried. I learned a lot about hummus this year. I thought hummus was hummus. Boy was I wrong. I discovered how the Israeli's eat hummus (lots of tahini) and I fell in love. This stuff isn't like natural peanut butter where it's a hard lump in the bottom of a can or jar. Give this a stir and pour it right out of the jar. It's very good straight out of the jar. It's expensive but if you want an Israeli style hummus you really need this stuff. You can make the creamiest hummus you've ever had. I can't wait to use this for other dishes as well.

Best in flavor and texture

SOom Foods Pure Ground Sesame Tahini is light years away in taste and texture than the usual tahini i have purchased in the store. It doesnt come separated like other tahinis and the taste is absolutely fresh. Besides, it is made by women! I read about the brand last year in a chef's article on Israeli cooking, but all that was available at that time was a large restaurant size quantity. I am thrilled that I can now buy two smaller jars and use them up before they go stale. Now an idea for the future would be a mixed package of the chocolate and plain flavors. 🙂

I bought this stuff because it was specifically recommended in the cookbook

I bought this stuff because it was specifically recommended in the cookbook Zahav: A World of Israeli Cooking. The price falls into "this had better be really good!" range. Fortunately, it *is* really good. If you've got the book, 2 bottles will make one big batch of tahini sauce, which in turn can be used to make 2 large batches of really great tasting hummus.

Great product, good service

Smooth and creamy and fresh....recommended by Zahav and boy, does this make a difference! My hummus is so light and airy and rich. The price is the same as the Soom website, so being a prime member, it makes sense for me to order here. The packaging was secure and the delivery was timely....more more could I ask?

Outstanding Purchase

Because of the internet and researching for the best of the best of the best of products you want to buy has become easier. I take the time to look for a great product. For me, if I am going to buy something, mostly I want the best. I don't want to waste my hard earned money on something that doesn't hold up or taste well. In trying to be more of a home cook (and if you knew me, this is a stretch) I found a few recipes of yummy looking food made with Tahini. I dug down further and found the recipe creator was a well-known chef and they used only Tahini paste from Soom Foods. Good enough for me. Found it on Amazon, purchased and within a couple of days because I am a Prime member, I find it on my kitchen counter. I cracked open the jar and they recommend to stir it like a natural peanut butter to get all the solids mixed it. I couldn't wait to try it on my chicken. Wow. It was great. Looks like I'm hooked. Buying food over the internet kind of makes me wary especially if it isn't fresh. This purchase was great. The expiration on the jars (it was a 2-pack) in on October 2019, plenty of time to eat, mix and pour over a lot of food. The jars arrived in a well-packed box, no dents, no damage to the box or the jars. It was like I went to a box store and picked it up. Very happy with purchase and glad to leave an outstanding review.
