Delicious vegan tahini dressings - drizzle, dip, done
Once there was a blogger
Find out how the idea for our tahini dressings were born
Dressini was created by Philipp Ertl, who is also the founder of Exceedinglyvegan.com, one of the most popular recipe blogs in the UK.
A few years ago Philipp decided to turn around his life, gave up smoking from one day to the next and transitioned to a plant-based diet. He wanted to inspire other people as well so he developed his own easy- to follow plant-based recipes and shared them on his blog.
When he started using tahini in his recipes it was love at first sight. It wasn’t just the perfect ingredient in terms of taste but it’s also super nutritious, high in calcium, protein and a perfect dairy-replacement.
So Philipp made it his mission to make this amazing ingredient more accessible and came up with the idea of delicious tahini dressings – Dressini was born.

TAHINI IS THE IDEAL VEGAN DAIRY REPLACEMENT
We chose tahini as a base ingredient because of its great nutrient content. Tahini is a great source of non-dairy calcium, and naturally plant-based.
