This is our story
A story of authentic flavors
Our story begins with a passion for tradition and flavor. Inspired by the rich culinary heritage of the Middle East, we craft our recipes using only the finest sesame seeds, carefully selected and processed with time-honored methods.
Each bite tells a story – of culture, of care, and of authenticity.
We are committed to preserving the essence of traditional sesame-based products, while bringing them to life in new and exciting ways for today’s tastes.
At Sesâmes, we believe that real flavor comes from respect for ingredients, for craft, and for the people who enjoy our products.
Quality is a family tradition
The process of making halva is time consuming and we put great pride in it. Our Halva and Tahini are made with the traditional handmade technique and we only use premium Ethiopian Humera sesame seeds.
The sesame seeds get cleaned, dried and then roasted over gas-powered flames at perfectly precise temperatures (rather than the conventional steam). The reason we do so is to maximize the full flavor and its nutritional values.
A treasure of flavors
The seeds are then ground by an authentic process of grind-stoning. Although this method is 10 times slower, it maintains the quality of the sesame, its freshness, and its nutritional values. We receive a “raw Tahini” paste also known as sesame butter, which is the main ingredient of our Halva.
We add a boiled and whipped sugar foam in a particular way that produces the confection’s and melting texture.
We then hand-knead it while adding various flavors by hand to produce the most coveted and fluffy Halva.
Our Values
Through our initiatives, we give back to our communities and empower our employees to volunteer.
Connecting People Through Food
Sesames is a gastronomical experience that goes beyond the simple act of eating food. Our goal is to connect people through food and make them exploring the full aroma and amazing flavors that the Middle East has to offer. Food that nurses your body and soul. We strongly believe food tastes better when shared.
