Ingredients and dietary information
The ingredient declaration is: Sesame Paste*. The allergen declaration lists sesame. The label also declares this tahini gluten-free, with no added sugar, no added salt, no added oils, and peanut free.
These statements describe the product as labelled. The 300g jar contains a sesame-based paste rather than a flavoured tahini; the pistachio and hazelnut references describe its reported aromatic finish.
Cold-pressed production
Samynthos identifies this as cold-pressed whole tahini. During the stated production process, the sesame seed is heated to 65°C, while the sesame paste is processed under a moderate heat load of 40-42°C. These recorded temperatures are part of the product's specific processing description.
The producer also describes seed activation as part of its tahini-making process. This approach results in the fluid consistency specified for this sesame paste, giving it a pourable character distinct to the product description.
Flavour and texture
This tahini is described as highly fluid and full in flavour. Roasted sesame is the leading aroma, followed by pistachio and hazelnut notes in the aftertaste. Those nut-like notes are part of the flavour profile, while the declared ingredient remains Sesame Paste*.
The profile places the sesame character at the centre: aromatic, rounded, and roasted in expression, with a lingering finish noted by the producer.
