Seed + Mill, a women-owned tahini and halva company based in New York City, has launched a new Chocolate Sesame Sauce, adding to its existing line of squeezable tahini products.

This latest offering aims to offer a versatile ingredient that caters to the growing consumer demand for healthier alternatives to traditional chocolate spreads.

Chocolate Sesame Sauce is formulated to be gluten-free, palm oil-free, nut-free, vegan and Kosher, making it suitable for a wide range of dietary preferences.

With only 4g of sugar per serving, compared to 22g found in many conventional chocolate spreads, the product positions itself as a healthier option in the competitive market of sweet condiments.

Seed + Mill’s founder, Rachel Simons, emphasised the significance of this launch, noting that the combination of chocolate and tahini has been a long-requested flavour by the brand's community.

"Our team is bubbling over with excitement over this new product," she stated. "The squeezable format makes it incredibly easy to drizzle this sauce over everything, appealing to both consumers and manufacturers looking for innovative ingredient solutions."

Chocolate Sesame Sauce is made from high-quality, double-milled sesame seeds, which contribute to its smooth texture and enhanced flavour profile.

The incorporation of oats, demerara sugar and dark chocolate aligns with current trends in the food industry that favour clean labels and minimal processing.

As the food and beverage industry increasingly focuses on sustainability and health-conscious products, Seed + Mill's new offering reflects these priorities.

The sauce can be used in various applications, from drizzling over desserts to incorporating it into baking recipes, providing a versatile ingredient that can enhance product lines.

The new product is now available online through Seed + Mill’s website and Amazon, as well as at their Chelsea Market storefront and select speciality stores, with a suggested retail price of $10.99.
