What is Double Roasted Tahini?

Double Roasted Tahini is a smooth paste made by grinding sesame seeds that have been roasted twice. The extra roasting gives it a deeper, toastier flavour and a rich, thick texture.

Across the Middle East and eastern Mediterranean, tahini is stirred into sauces and dips such as hummus, or served with lemon and garlic alongside grilled food. It also works as a spread on toast or mixed with sweet ingredients for a quick snack. Double Roasted Tahini is energy-dense, with plenty of fat and some protein; it provides 650 kcal per 100 g. Its intense flavour means a spoonful can go a long way, especially whisked with water or lemon to make a lighter sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions About Double Roasted Tahini

What is double roasted tahini?

Double roasted tahini is sesame paste made from seeds roasted more deeply than those used for many standard tahinis. The extra-roasted flavor is more intense and the paste is often darker, making it especially noticeable in dips, sauces, and baked goods.

How is double roasted tahini different from regular tahini?

Double roasted tahini has a darker color and a stronger, toastier sesame flavor than regular tahini. It can also taste slightly more bitter, so it may change the character of a recipe even when used in the same amount.

How do you use double roasted tahini?

Use double roasted tahini in hummus, dressings, sauces, marinades, and baking, or drizzle it over roasted vegetables. Its deep roasted flavor stands out in simple preparations; stir the jar first so the separated sesame oil blends back in.

Why has oil separated in my double roasted tahini?

Oil separation in double roasted tahini is normal: sesame’s natural oil can rise to the surface during storage. Stir slowly from the bottom until the paste is smooth again, using a clean, dry utensil to avoid introducing moisture or crumbs.

Should double roasted tahini be refrigerated after opening?

Usually, double roasted tahini does not need refrigeration after opening; a cool, dry cupboard away from sunlight is suitable. Refrigeration can make the paste firmer and harder to stir. Follow the storage directions on the jar if they specify otherwise.

How long does double roasted tahini last after opening?

Double roasted tahini can generally keep for months after opening when tightly sealed and stored in a cool, dry place. Its exact shelf life varies by product, so use the jar’s guidance and discard it if it develops an off smell, mold, or an unusual taste.

Can double roasted tahini replace regular tahini in recipes?

Yes, double roasted tahini can replace regular tahini in most recipes. Its bolder roasted flavor may dominate delicate dips, dressings, or desserts, so start with a little less when you want the other ingredients to remain prominent.

Why does double roasted tahini taste bitter?

A mild bitter edge can come from the deeper roasting that gives double roasted tahini its robust flavor. A harsh, burnt, or rancid taste is different; avoid eating it if the flavor or smell seems spoiled.

Can you make hummus with double roasted tahini?

Yes, double roasted tahini works well in hummus and gives it a more pronounced toasted sesame taste. Blend it with chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic, and a little water, adjusting the water gradually until the hummus reaches the texture you like.

How do you thin double roasted tahini for a dressing?

Whisk double roasted tahini with lemon juice and add cold water a little at a time until it becomes pourable. The mixture may thicken at first, then turn creamy as you keep whisking; season with salt or garlic if desired.
