White chocolate hummus

Elevate your hummus with white chocolate tahini—a delicious blend of unsweetened white chocolate, tahini and a hint of honey. The creamy white chocolate tahini spread compliments the delicate flavours of lemon, cumin and cardamom in this refreshingly modern take on a traditional recipe. The recipe pairs well with seasonal berries, peaches, yoom tomatoes (sweet-sour tomato variety), fresh herbs and crispy baked pita bread.

Developed in the food labs of Vrωsis, located in Alexandroupolis Greece, the unique flavoured tahini spreads are ideal for people who want to increase their protein intake, without the use of animal products. Equally delicious on their own, the natural tahini spreads can also be used in smoothies, toppings or dips.
