History
Across history, across the world
For millennia, sesame seeds have been a very important food with strong
religious connotations. Although they originated in sub-Saharan Africa, they
were already familiar to the ancient Babylonians. And the ancient Chinese, who
did not mind the supportive, gently warming effect of the sesame oil
pressed from them.
Processing method
Cold pressed
Sesame oil is extracted from the seeds of the white Indian sesame
(Sesamum indicum) by the most gentle method, cold
pressing. The maximum content of vitamins, minerals and other
beneficial substances is preserved in this way.
For Asian dishes, vegetable salads, marinades or dressings
Sesame oil is typical for its pleasantly mild taste and aroma of
sesame seeds. Traditionally it is used mainly in Asian cuisine, but
it is also great in salads, dressings and for the final seasoning of
dishes.
