The Story of Zale Iraqi Tahini

In the heart of Mesopotamia, where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers flow, sesame has been cherished for thousands of years. From these golden seeds comes Iraqi tahini—a silky, nutty paste that has nourished families for generations.

Unlike ordinary tahini, Iraqi tahini is stone-ground to preserve its rich flavor and smooth texture. It is the quiet hero of many dishes: drizzled over warm bread, swirled into date syrup for a sweet treat, or blended into savory sauces.

For us, tahini is more than food—it is tradition, heritage, and comfort in every spoonful. When you taste it, you taste a story that began centuries ago in the kitchens of Iraq.
