The Problem
Most tahinis just aren't worth the mess – the oil separates from the sandy sediment below, no matter how carefully you mix it. On top of that, most of us don't even know where or how the sesame seeds grow, and why a silky-smooth tahini can only really be made using special machinery.
Our Food Fix
Soom sources their sesame seeds in western Ethiopia, where the harvest employs thousands of people who cut the stalks, dry the pods, and shake out the sesame seeds by hand. The seeds are pressed in Israel, a process intended to mimic the thousand-year-old method of pressing sesame seeds between two stones. Their three sisters-in-chief see their business as a platform to give back, donating to organizations who provide culinary training for job placement and life skills.
