The roots of this oil are deep in the thousand-year history of sesame

Sesame is one of the oldest oilseed plants cultivated by man, with a history dating back over five thousand years. Probably native to Africa and India, sesame soon spread throughout the Orient and the Mediterranean basin, where its seeds and oil became invaluable. In ancient Babylon, sesame oil was considered a gift from the gods, and throughout Asia it has long been a pillar of traditional cuisine and medicine. Its oil is the star of iconic preparations such as tahini, a sesame seed cream that forms the basis of Middle Eastern dishes like hummus and halva. Sesame oil also holds a place of honor in the Indian Ayurvedic tradition, used for millennia for massages and body treatments. Molino Crisafulli continues this long legacy with an ultra-pure oil, cold-pressed using methods that respect its natural qualities.
