← Obour Foods 100% olive oil · 0 seed oils

Olive oil in every jar. Zero seed oils.

Every drop of oil in our hummus, toum, tahini and pita chips is olive oil. No canola, sunflower, safflower or soybean oil, ever. It costs more and it's harder to work with. We use it anyway, because it tastes better.

Where it goes

The only oil we use.

Hummus

Organic extra-virgin olive oil, blended into all six flavors.

Toum

Whipped with olive oil. It's hard to do, which is why almost every toum on the shelf uses canola instead.

Tahini

Toasted is one ingredient: organic sesame. Date and Pomegranate add a little organic olive oil.

Pita chips

Baked, never fried, with organic extra-virgin olive oil.

0 seed oils

What we leave out.

Seed oils are pressed or extracted from seeds: canola, sunflower, safflower, soybean, corn, cottonseed and grapeseed. They're cheap and neutral-tasting, so they turn up in a lot of packaged dips and snacks. You won't find any of them in ours.

Most store-bought hummus and toum

Soybean, canola or another seed oil
Often preservatives, citric acid or gums to keep it stable

Isn't sesame a seed?

It is, but tahini isn't a seed oil. It's whole sesame seeds, toasted and ground into a paste, the same way peanut butter is ground peanuts. We grind ours in our own kitchen every week.
