MESSYFACE

The 3 Jar Stash

Messyface fruit and sesame spread is a natural sweet spread made from grape molasses and stone-ground sesame tahini. It’s inspired by the traditional turkish pairing of tahin and pekmez, but blended into one rich, spoonable spread. No palm oil. No refined sugar. Just fruit and sesame doing their thing. Grape molasses is 100% grapes.

Messyface keeps it simple: grape molasses and stone-ground sesame tahini.

That’s it. No refined sugar, no palm oil, and nothing ultra-processed. Just naturally sweet grapes and creamy sesame blended into a rich spread. Grape molasses is 100% grapes.

Messyface tastes rich, nutty and naturally sweet. The grape molasses brings a dark, caramel-like sweetness, while the tahini adds a creamy sesame richness. Think somewhere between honey, nut butter and caramel, but smoother and more complex.

Messyface is spreadable, glossy and spoonable. The sesame tahini gives it a creamy texture, while the grape molasses adds a fudgy, slightly sticky finish. It spreads easily on toast but is rich enough to drizzle over yoghurt or porridge.

No. Messyface contains no palm oil.

Many spreads use palm oil to create a smooth texture. Messyface doesn’t need it. The natural oils from sesame tahini give the spread its creamy consistency.

No refined sugar. The sweetness comes entirely from grape molasses, which is made by slowly reducing grapes into a thick, naturally sweet syrup. Nothing added, nothing artificial.

However you like getting messy.

Most people spread it on toast, sourdough or pancakes, but it also works brilliantly with yoghurt, porridge, fruit, or baking. Some people eat it straight from the spoon. We won’t judge.

What is grape molasses?

Grape molasses (pekmez) is a traditional fruit syrup made by slowly reducing grapes until they become thick, dark and naturally sweet. It’s widely used across Turkey and the Middle East, often paired with tahini as tahin pekmez. The flavour is rich, slightly caramelised and full of grape intensity.

Tahini is a paste made from roasted and ground sesame seeds. It’s a staple ingredient across Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking, known for its creamy texture and nutty flavour. In Messyface, stone-ground sesame tahini balances the sweetness of grape molasses with a rich, savoury depth.

Yes. Messyface is inspired by tahin pekmez, a traditional mix of sesame tahini and grape molasses eaten across Turkey and the Middle East. The difference is that Messyface blends the two into a ready-to-spread jar, so you get the same flavour combination without mixing it yourself.
