Ask Bio about this range · Tahini and Molasses
Long before nut butters became a British breakfast habit, Turkish households were spreading tahini and molasses together on bread every morning, a pairing known as tahin pekmez that balances the bitterness of sesame paste against the sweetness of grape or mulberry syrup. Molasses itself comes from slowly boiling down fruit juice, most commonly grapes, without adding sugar, which is why it carries a deep, almost caramel flavour rather than a sharp sweetness. Turkish Online Market stocks this pairing for UK households who grew up on it and for anyone looking for a naturally sweetened alternative to jam.
What the tahini and molasses range covers
Sitting within Sweet Breakfast under the Breakfast section, this category currently holds 19 products from Koska, Bodrum, Doralife and Seyidoglu. Koska dominates the range with sesame paste tahini in 300g and 620g jars, grape molasses in 380g and 800g sizes, and a ready-mixed 350g tahin pekmez jar that combines both in one pot, alongside mulberry and carob molasses for those who prefer a different fruit base. Bodrum contributes a 300g organic tahini, while Doralife offers a distinctive 400g Manisa mesir herbal paste for a more unusual, spiced take on the category.
Choosing, storing and using tahini and molasses
For a first purchase, a plain Koska tahini alongside a grape molasses gives the most traditional flavour and lets you mix your own ratio to taste, while the pre-mixed tahin pekmez jar suits anyone who wants a single spoon-ready jar. Both tahini and molasses keep well unopened in a cool cupboard for many months; once opened, tahini can be kept at room temperature and simply stirred if the oil separates, while molasses should be kept tightly sealed to stop it drying out. Beyond breakfast, a spoonful of tahini and molasses stirred together makes a quick energy-dense snack, and molasses alone is often stirred into tea or drizzled over fruit and yoghurt.
