Sesame oil with a pleasantly mild taste and aroma
With this sesame oil, you can work wonders, and not just in Asian cuisine.
Its pleasantly mild taste and aroma of sesame seeds perfectly complement
vegetable salads, hummus, and baked and unbaked desserts.
History
Across history, across the world
For millennia, sesame seeds have been a very important food with strong
religious undertones. Although they originated in sub-Saharan Africa, they were
intimately known to the ancient Babylonians. And the ancient Chinese swore by
the supportive, gently warming effect of the sesame oil pressed
from them.
Processing method
Cold-pressed
Sesame oil is obtained from the seeds of Sesamum indicum by
the gentlest method, cold-pressing. The maximum content of vitamins,
minerals, and other beneficial substances is preserved in this way.
Usage
For Asian dishes, vegetable salads, dressings, and vinaigrettes
Sesame oil is typical for its pleasantly mild taste and aroma of
sesame seeds. Traditionally, it is used primarily in Asian cuisine, but
it is also excellent for salads, dressings, or vinaigrettes, and for the
final seasoning of finished dishes.
