More about Dressini

Dressini, the world’s first range of plant-based tahini dressings, come in 3 amazing flavours:

- A classic garlic & herb
- A sunny and vibrant turmeric & ginger
- An earthy sweet beetroot & garlic tahini dressing.

Our dressings are super versatile and were developed for use with lots of different dishes. They are perfect for getting creative in the kitchen: you can use them as salad dressing, as mayonnaise replacement, with veggies (e.g. roasted), as dip or even in warming rice dishes. They will always stay in season.

Dressini was created by Philipp Ertl, who is also the founder of Exceedinglyvegan.com, one of the most popular recipe blogs in the UK. So, Philipp made it his mission to make the amazing ingredient tahini more accessible for you.

What was the motivation behind your brand, business or organisation? What did you want to change in the world?

Dressini was created by Philipp Ertl, founder of Exceedinglyvegan.com, one of the UK’s most popular vegan blogs. Before Phil became vegan, he was a chain smoker who wasn’t happy with his life. One day he realised he was holding the key to happiness in his own hands. He decided to turn his life around, quit smoking and look after himself more in all aspects of life. This led him to a plant-based lifestyle. Inspired by the benefits of vegan foods, he decided to be the change he wanted to see in the world and so he started a vegan recipe blog. Philipp’s goal has always been to make his vegan recipes as accessible as possible. That’s why he almost entirely uses ingredients found in local supermarkets for his recipes. Dressini follows the same idea of making plant-based dishes more accessible by offering a nutritious alternative to dairy-based dressings.

Who is the team behind your brand, business or organisation?

Dressini was founded by Philipp Ertl, who regularly develops and shares delicious vegan recipes with his 170,000 followers on social media. Together with his team of experts in marketing and sales, finance and tech he made it his mission to make the amazing superfood tahini more accessible to consumers.

What one thing about your brand, business or organisation would most surprise us or is not known outside of your team?

The name Dressini was invented by Philipp and it’s a mix of the words dressing and tahini. He also designed the logo and packaging and his brother George designed the website.

That our dressings are sold in all major supermarkets across the UK to make the superfood tahini more accessible for everyone!
