sesame oil

Made from high-quality seeds

We produce our sesame oil from unroasted Ugandan sesame seeds, grown organically. These high-quality seeds are processed in our Zurich facility using a cold-pressing method at a maximum temperature of 34 degrees Celsius. Because we forgo roasting, our oil has a pleasantly mild flavor. Furthermore, unroasted, cold-pressed sesame oil offers a significant advantage:The valuable ingredients of the seeds are largely preserved.
