Bacel Tahini's Origin

​

Tahini has been made in Turkey since the 13th century and has found its way into a large variety of dishes.

​

However, in one particular village tahini is made in a unique way.

​

Located in the Taurus Mountains and known for its natural, pure mountain spring waters and mineral rich soil. Tahini made in this village differentiates itself from any other Tahini in the world through its rich golden colour, nutty taste and quality of the local sesame seeds.

​

The sesame seeds are first soaked in natural spring water and then roasted in a wood fired stone oven using only Juniper tree wood, before being ground to a creamy, luxurious paste in a large stone mill. It's no wonder that the Sultans of the Ottoman Empire were also using sesame seeds only from this special place.

​

Having family roots in that village and an exceptional passion for sharing this exceptional roasted Tahini, has made us start our Bacel roasted tahini adventure in Australia.

​

We are very pleased to introduce  Bacel Wood Fired Roasted Tahini to you and to Australia.

​

Even though Tahini is extremely versatile and healthy, classified as super food due to its high content of protein, magnesium, calcium, iron, unsaturated fats and  B vitamins, it is mainly known in Australia as an ingredient for Hummus.  We will be sharing recipes with you weekly on our website and  hope that you will enjoy some of our recipes.

​

However, it is not about using Tahini, it is about using the best Tahini, which we believe is Bacel Wood Fired, Stone Oven Roasted Tahini. Simply taste the difference.
