Kalaycıoğlu Bozkır Tahini 935 g – Double Roasted, Stone Ground, 100% Natural

Everyone knows tahini. Almost no one knows this tahini – and once you've tried it, you won't buy any other.

Kalaycıoğlu Bozkır Tahin from Konya is roasted twice. Not once, like most tahinis in the supermarket or organic shop – twice. This second roasting makes all the difference: deeper nutty aroma, a slight caramel undertone, a warmth in the finish that is simply absent in simple tahini. And yet creamy, yet smooth – slowly ground on a stone mill, without heat that destroys the nutrients.

935 g in a jar – the honest amount, not rounded up to 1 kg.

What makes this tahini special?

In Germany, two types of tahini dominate: industrial supermarket tahini and organic-certified tahini from health food stores. Both are usually simply roasted, mechanically ground, and optimized for shelf life.

Bozkır Tahini is different. It comes from a traditional artisan mill in Bozkır, a district in the Konya province – a region known in Turkey for generations for its sesame quality. The sesame seeds are roasted twice and then slowly ground on historic stone mills (Taş Değirmen). No salt, no oil, no stabilizers. Just sesame.

What does "double roasted" mean?

During the first roasting, the sesame is gently heated – it develops its basic aroma and releases moisture. During the second roasting, the natural sugars in the sesame seeds lightly caramelize, and the aroma deepens: nutty, warm, with a hint of roasted notes. The result is a tahini that tastes significantly more intense than single-roasted varieties – and adds more depth when cooking.

What is this tahini suitable for?

• Tahini-Pekmez breakfast – the classic Turkish breakfast duo: tahini and grape molasses, 1:1, on fresh bread
• Hummus – as a base for creamy, aromatic hummus; the double roasting gives the hummus more character
• Tahini sauce – diluted with lemon juice, garlic, and water as a dressing for falafel, grilled vegetables, salads
• Baking – in cookies, brownies, or as a filling for pastries (tahini adds a nutty depth)
• Smoothies & Porridge – a tablespoon for more protein and nutty notes
• Pure – straight from the spoon, for anyone who likes sesame

Tahin or Tahini – what's the difference?

None. "Tahin" is the Turkish and German spelling, "Tahini" is the English and Arabic. It's the same product: ground, roasted sesame seeds. In Germany, both terms are used.
