Made from ground toasted sesame seeds, tahini has been a staple of Mediterranean cuisines for centuries. The Matis family brought the craft of stone milling sesame to Trikala, Greece from Aivali in Asia Minor in 1898 and have been producing best quality tahini since then. Combining the nutritious value of its unsweetened equivalent with intense chocolate flavor and a smooth, creamy texture, tahini with cocoa really is the best of both worlds. Enjoy it on bread, waffles, pancakes, with fruit, or straight from the jar!
