Slowfood Organic Cocoa Sesame Gambuzza

Gambuzza's Slowfood Organic Cocoa Sesamosa is an artisanal masterpiece that celebrates the excellence of Italian sesame from Ispica, a Slow Food Presidium in southeastern Sicily. This gourmet spread combines the buttery richness of organic sesame seeds grown in the sunny fields of Ragusa with the enveloping depth of organic cocoa and the rounded sweetness of Italian hazelnuts, creating a unique and irresistible harmony of flavors.

Each jar contains 38% Ispica sesame seeds, a native variety with a thousand-year history, characterized by an intense aromatic profile and extraordinary nutritional value. The artisanal process respects the natural roasting and stone grinding times, preserving all the active ingredients and essential oils that give Sesamosa its velvety, creamy texture that makes it so special.

The Slow Food recognition demonstrates Gambuzza's commitment to protecting Sicilian agricultural biodiversity and promoting a product at risk of extinction. Choosing Sesamosa al Cacao means supporting sustainable agriculture, short supply chains, and the work of small producers who preserve ancient knowledge and authentic flavors. This spread embodies the true essence of Sicily, the land of red soil, Mediterranean sunshine, and the expert hands that transform precious seeds into pure delicacy.

The roots of Sesamosa are deep in the millenary Sicilian tradition

Sesame is one of the world's oldest cultivated plants, having arrived in Sicily with the Phoenicians and Arabs, who prized its extraordinary nutritional properties and unmistakable flavor. In the Ispica plain, in the heart of Ragusa, this plant has found its ideal habitat: calcareous soil, abundant sunshine, and sea breezes have given rise to a unique local variety, so precious that it has been recognized as a Slow Food Presidium.

For centuries, Sicilian farmers have cultivated sesame using traditional techniques passed down from generation to generation, using the seeds to make traditional sweets like "giuggiulena" or to enrich breads and focaccias. By the 70s, sesame cultivation in Italy had almost disappeared, supplanted by intensive foreign production. Thanks to the commitment of small, visionary producers like Gambuzza, Ispica sesame has been reborn, once again becoming a symbol of biodiversity, quality, and local identity.

Sesamosa represents the contemporary evolution of this ancient tradition: a sweet cream that reinterprets the flavors of rural Sicily, blending them with cocoa, creating a bridge between historical memory and modern pleasure, between respect for the land and gastronomic innovation.

Choosing Organic Cocoa Sesame means taking care of yourself.

Organic Cocoa Sesame is a natural powerhouse of well-being. Sesame seeds are an exceptional source of plant-based calcium, essential for healthy bones and teeth, and magnesium, a key mineral for the nervous and muscular systems. They also contain lignans such as sesamol, powerful antioxidants that fight cellular aging and protect the cardiovascular system.

The high-quality plant proteins in this spread (14,8g per 100g) make it an excellent choice for those following a plant-based diet or for those seeking a nutritious alternative to traditional spreads. Dietary fiber (10g per 100g) promotes intestinal transit and contributes to a feeling of satiety, while omega-6 unsaturated fatty acids support cardiovascular health and skin health.

Organic cocoa adds a valuable dose of flavonoids, known for their antioxidant properties and their mood-boosting effect thanks to the presence of theobromine and phenylethylamine. Hazelnuts round out the nutritional profile with vitamin E, folic acid, and phytosterols. Each spoonful of Sesamosa is a deeply nourishing experience, a burst of clean energy and beneficial substances that the body recognizes and utilizes with joy.
