Toast the sesame seeds carefully; they burn easily. A light golden color and fragrant aroma indicate they're ready.
For a more intense flavor, use hulled sesame seeds.
If you prefer a milder flavor, you can use untoasted sesame seeds, but the tahini will lack some depth.
The amount of olive oil needed may vary depending on the dryness of the sesame seeds. Start with 1/4 cup and add more as needed to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
