Workshop
The Sesame Lab - Workshop
Join us at The Tahini House in Cusco for a hands-on sesame and tahini workshop. You’ll taste sesame products, toast your own seeds, watch fresh tahini come out of our stone mill, and mix colorful tehina flavors around the table. It’s warm, social, delicious, and practical — with music, teamwork, pita, fresh ingredients, and tahini jars to take home.
What You'll Experience
- Workshop from the inside.
Welcome to The Sesame Lab. A cozy, hands-on workshop where sesame becomes fresh tahini. We’ll start with a quick team welcome, a short visual intro, interactive tastings, and then move straight into toasting, milling, mixing, and tasting together.
Step 1 — Welcome & Sesame Intro
Meet the team and learn what sesame is, where it comes from, and why it matters in Israeli and Mediterranean kitchens.
Step 2 — Taste the Seed
Try different sesame-based products and compare flavor, texture, aroma, and color through a short guided tasting.
Step 3 — Toast Your Sesame
Toast sesame seeds with your group and see how heat changes their smell, color, and flavor before milling.
Step 4 — Stone-Mill the Tahini
Watch warm sesame pass through our tahini machine, using granite stones from the Machu Picchu region shaped by a local artisan.
Step 5 — Mix Your Tehina
Move to the table and create your own tahini flavors with lemon, salt, pepper, paprika, beetroot, cilantro, and other fresh ingredients.
Step 6 — Taste, Share & Take Home
Enjoy your creations with pita, taste with the group, and leave with 2–3 jars of tahini plus a 150g tahini base gift.
