About Ahmed
Ahmed is a celebrated brand specialising in sesame delights that form the backbone of Middle Eastern cuisine. Their signature tahini, made from the finest hulled sesame seeds, offers a smooth, nutty paste ideal for creamy hummus, vibrant salads, or as a drizzle over grilled meats. The pure sesame oil carries an intense, aromatic profile perfect for stir-fries, dressings, and marinades, adding depth to dishes like falafel or shawarma.
Indulge in Ahmed's halva, a sweet, fudgy treat made from tahini and sugar syrup, available in classic plain or flavours like chocolate and pistachio. It's a versatile snack on its own, crumbled over desserts, or enjoyed with tea in true Levantine style. For baking enthusiasts, their sesame seeds provide the perfect crunch for breads, pastries, and sweets such as ma'amoul.
These products stand out for their quality: cold-pressed oils preserve natural nutrients and flavours, while halva uses no artificial additives. Store tahini and oil in a cool, dark place for up to a year; refrigerate opened halva to maintain freshness. Whether recreating family recipes or exploring new ones like tahini brownies or sesame-crusted lamb, Ahmed delivers convenience and taste. Sourced directly for freshness, they're a must-have for anyone passionate about global groceries in the UK.
