Al Agha: The Living Sesame
Tahini and halawa from Lebanon, under the sunrise mark of Al Agha.
From seed to tahini and halawa
-
01 · Seed
It begins with a seed.
Small, pale, edged in gold. On every Al Agha tahini jar the ingredient story fits in two words: 100% sesame.
-
02 · Gather
A field finds its flow.
Scattered seeds turn toward one direction and pour toward the jar, a single stream of sesame.
That stream becomes Al Agha Tahini: Sesame Paste, طحينة فاخرة, made in Lebanon from 100% sesame.
-
03 · Halawa
Sesame, made sweet.
The same seed takes a sweeter turn: Al Agha Halawa, حلاوة. Four flavours, each in a 400 g tub, made in Lebanon.
-
04 · Sunrise
One sunrise, on every jar and tub.
Tahini and Halawa share one mark. The seeds rise into the sun that crowns it: the same sunrise, and the same 1942, printed on every Al Agha jar and every Halawa tub.
-
05 · Together
Made for the family table.
Tahini and Halawa from Lebanon, opened, passed and shared at the table where everyone gathers.

About the brand
Al Agha, in a few answers.
Questions about the Al Agha name and mark. Product questions live on each product page.
01What does Al Agha make?
Two lines: Tahini, in a 400 g jar, an 800 g jar and an 18 kg bucket; and Halawa, in four flavours (Plain, Pistachio, Almond and Chocolate), each in a 400 g tub.
02How is the name written in Arabic?
الآغا. It is printed in green at the heart of the badge, above the Latin name AL AGHA.
03What does 1942 on the badge stand for?
The badge reads "Since 1942". The year sits beneath the sunrise and the name, and appears on every Al Agha jar and tub.
04Where are Al Agha products made?
In Lebanon. "Made in Lebanon" is printed on every Al Agha label.
05How do I spot Al Agha on the shelf?
Look for the arched cream badge: an orange sunrise over الآغا in green, AL AGHA beneath it, and "Since 1942". The same mark is on the Tahini jars, the bucket and every Halawa tub.
06What is Al Agha Tahini made from?
The Tahini label says it plainly: 100% sesame.
07What is Al Agha Halawa made from?
Halawa is the traditional sesame sweet, made with tahini. Al Agha Halawa comes in four flavours: Plain, Pistachio, Almond and Chocolate. The full ingredient list for each flavour is printed on its tub.
08How does Al Agha think about quality?
By keeping things simple and saying them plainly on the label: the Tahini is 100% sesame, and every pack is made in Lebanon.
09What makes Al Agha special?
One mark, kept the same on every pack: the sunrise, the name الآغا and "Since 1942". Behind it, Tahini of 100% sesame, Halawa in four flavours, and everything made in Lebanon.
10Why does Al Agha belong at family gatherings?
Because it is made to be shared. Tahini is the base of the mezze classics, like hummus, moutabal and tarator, and Halawa ends the meal on a sweet note. Packs run from a 400 g jar for the home to an 18 kg bucket for the big occasions.
11Why is Al Agha so easy to remember?
The sunrise. The same orange sun rising over the green name sits on every jar and tub, so once it has been on your table, you will know it again on the shelf.
