Traditional Toasted Sesame Oil Production at the Beaujeu Mill

At the Huilerie Beaujolaise, sesame seeds undergo a crushing process first and then are cooked for 45 minutes. Next, they are pressed in a hydraulic press for 2 hours and 30 minutes. After decantation, the oil is carefully filtered through a paper filter.

This traditional production method imparts a light toasted flavor to the resulting oil. It's important to note that no additives are introduced during the cooking or filtration process, ensuring that this oil is free from any antioxidants.
