Authentic Arenbiyeh

Citrusy. Nutty. Deeply Lebanese. A family recipe made easier.

Whisktaker Authentic Arenbiyeh brings together tahini, seasonal bitter orange and five varieties of citrus for a rich, tangy and distinctly Beiruti sauce that makes serving one of Lebanon’s more intricate traditional flavors much easier.

This recipe is especially close to our story. Arenbiyeh was perfected by my grandmother Wafika, whose cooking inspired me from childhood to preserve our family’s refined Lebanese culinary heritage. To stay true to the recipe, we source seasonal Bou Sfeir and other citrus varieties directly from the fields of Saida in Southern Lebanon.
