Contract Manufacturing and Quality Assurance in Tahini Production
Tahini, a deeply rooted flavor in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine, is a nutritious and uniquely flavored product made from ground sesame seeds. With a wide range of uses from breakfast spreads to halvah production, hummus to various sauces, tahini has gained popularity with healthy eating trends. Successful tahini production requires selecting quality sesame seeds, precise roasting and grinding processes, and hygienic packaging conditions.
At Ontad, we produce the most natural and high-quality tahini products for your brand through a contract manufacturing model. With our modern facilities, deep expertise in sesame processing, and meticulous quality control processes, we produce reliable and delicious tahini that will reach tables under your brand name.
Ontad’s Expertise and Quality Control in Tahini Production
Achieving perfect consistency, aroma, and nutritional value in tahini production requires great precision from raw material to final product. Ontad’s production process aims to achieve the best results by observing these subtleties:
- Raw Material Selection and Pre-processing: The sesame seeds used in our production are carefully selected from among the clean and high-quality products with high oil and nutritional value from leading sesame growing regions worldwide. Upon arrival at our facility, sesame seeds undergo detailed cleaning and pre-processing.
- Controlled Roasting and Grinding: Sesame seeds are roasted in our modern roasting ovens at ideal temperatures and durations to bring out their unique aroma and flavor. Then, they are ground in traditional stone mills or advanced technology grinders until they reach the silky smooth consistency of tahini. No additives or preservatives are used in this process.
- Laboratory Analyses and Quality Assurance: Every batch of production undergoes comprehensive analyses in our advanced laboratory:
- Viscosity Measurement: The fluidity and consistency of the tahini are meticulously checked for compliance with specified standards.
- Oil and Moisture Analysis: Oil and moisture content are continuously monitored for product stability, shelf life, and quality.
- Aflatoxin Analysis: Mycotoxins such as aflatoxin, which are critically important in sesame-based products, are meticulously analyzed using advanced laboratory techniques.
- Microbiological Analyses: Regular tests for pathogens and spoilage microorganisms are performed to ensure that the products are completely safe for human health.
- Hygienic Production Conditions: Our facilities operate in full compliance with international food safety and ethical trade certifications such as BRCGS, IFS, KOSHER, HALAL, and SEDEX. Our production, filling, and packaging lines are designed to preserve the freshness and purity of the product.
