Description
Pipkin tahini is a 100% organic sesame cream, made from roasted then pressed seeds. It is the key ingredient in hummus, baba ganoush and many Middle Eastern sauces.
This large 908 g jar holds a tahini with a smooth texture, prepared with sesame seeds from a single source in Ethiopia. It is certified organic by the Soil Association, vegetarian, kosher and GMO-free.
Pipkin tahini is mixed with lemon and garlic for a sauce, added to pastries for a hint of nuttiness, or spread as it is. Its large size suits those who make hummus every week.

Our verdict on Pipkin organic tahini
Review written by the Air d’Orient team · Updated on 19 September 2026
We have read buyers’ feedback on Pipkin organic tahini to pick out what comes up most often, good and not so good.
The strengths
- A perfect taste and texture: for Lebanese cooking.
- A large jar: of 908 g, for regular use.
- An organic sesame: from a single source in Ethiopia.
- A paste that does not dry out, easy to use.
Good to know
- The oil rises to the surface: this is normal for a natural tahini. Stir well before each use.
- A fairly fluid texture: runnier than some tahinis, it mixes easily into sauces.
Where we lean: for anyone who often makes hummus and wants an organic tahini in a large size, it is a good choice. For a thicker Lebanese tahini, see the Al Rabih below, and find our whole grocery range in our oriental spices section.

Your questions about this Pipkin tahini
How do you use tahini for hummus?
Blend 400 g of cooked chickpeas with two spoonfuls of tahini, the juice of a lemon, a clove of garlic, a drizzle of olive oil and a little cold water. Add salt, then adjust the texture with water.
Why does the oil rise to the top of the tahini jar?
Natural tahini contains no emulsifier: the sesame oil separates from the paste when left to stand. Stir for a good while with a spoon until you have an even cream again.
How should tahini be stored?
Closed, in a cupboard away from heat. After opening, keep it cool if you use it rarely: it will harden, but it will not go rancid.
