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 factory using a cold-pressing process at a maximum temperature of 34 degrees Celsius. Because we avoid roasting, the flavor of our oil is pleasantly mild. Unroasted, cold-pressed sesame oil also offers a key advantage:The valuable ingredients of the seeds are largely preserved.

Unroasted sesame oil: What's in it
This oil has a fat content of 50 to 60 percent, making sesame one of the fattiest oil plants. It contains monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, making it particularly nutritious.

Use in the kitchen

Because our sesame oil is unroasted, it tastes somewhat milder than the darker alternative made from roasted seeds. The mild, nutty flavor pairs well with salads and vegetables, and adds a pleasant touch to muesli. Because it can be heated slightly, it can be used not only for seasoning but also for steaming. Whether savory or sweet dishes, the sky's the limit.
Tip:Ayurvedic literature contains countless recipes and ideas for use in the kitchen and for personal care.

Unroasted sesame oil on the skin

What is healthy for internal use can also be applied to the skin. For the classic Ayurvedic full-body massage, Abhyanga, for example, the oil is slightly warmed and then liberally spread all over the body from head to toe. After the massage, the oil is allowed 20 to 30 minutes to absorb into the skin before showering. This massage is considered balancing and calming for the body. In the hair, the oil brings shine to the ends and, as a hair treatment, nourishes the scalp. Ayurveda also recommends sesame oil especially for morning oil pulling.
