SO Organic Hulled Tahini 750g
Certified organic hulled tahini, slow stone-milled in Australia. The mild, creamy version - lighter in colour, smoother in texture, and more versatile across sweet and savoury cooking than unhulled tahini.
Hulled tahini is made from sesame seeds with the outer hull removed before milling. Removing the hull eliminates the natural bitterness it contains, producing a paste that is noticeably paler, creamier, and milder in flavour. It's the version most people mean when they say tahini - the one used in classic hummus, halva, dressings, and dips.
Santos Organics Hulled Tahini is slow stone-milled in Australia from certified organic sesame seeds. Stone-milling is a traditional, low-heat process that preserves the natural flavour and nutrition of the sesame without the friction and heat of high-speed industrial milling.
The 750g jar is the bulk everyday size for households using tahini regularly across cooking, baking, and dressings.

How to use it
Hulled tahini is one of the most versatile pantry staples:
- Hummus: the foundation of any classic hummus - blend with chickpeas, garlic, lemon, and olive oil
- Dressings and sauces: whisk with lemon juice, garlic, water, and a pinch of salt for a simple tahini dressing
- Smoothies: a tablespoon blended into a banana or date smoothie adds richness without altering the flavour
- Spread with honey: a classic Middle Eastern breakfast combination on toast or flatbread
- Baking: folded into cookies, blondies, brownies, and raw slices as a binding paste
- Ice cream and desserts: swirled through ice cream or used as a base for halva
- Asian-style noodle sauces: whisked with tamari, rice vinegar, ginger, and sesame oil
Natural separation is normal. Oil will rise to the top on standing. Stir thoroughly before each use. For easier stirring, store the jar upside down and turn right-side up before opening.
Storage
Keep in a cool, dry place away from light and heat. Once opened, consume as soon as practical. Refrigerate in warmer climates to slow oil separation and extend freshness. Shelf life: 12 months.

Hulled vs Unhulled - how to choose
Santos stocks both versions of SO Organic Tahini in the 750g bulk jar:
- Hulled (this product): hull removed before milling. Pale, creamy, mild flavour with no bitterness. Best for hummus, dressings, dips, desserts, and anywhere you want a clean sesame flavour
- Unhulled: hull retained. Darker in colour, stronger and slightly bitter flavour, higher in calcium. Best for savoury cooking, Middle Eastern and Asian dishes, and those who prefer a more robust tahini
