Arawana Sesame Oil
Gold award granted by Asia Import News
East Africa, where the climate is hot and dry with plenty of sunshine all the year round, is an excellent sesame production area. The sesame produced here has high oil content, and the oil extracted has pure flavor with strong fragrance.
Arawana sesame oil is produced with carefully selected yellow and white sesame seeds with high oil content and good quality from Ethiopia and China, containing the active nutrient sesame lignans up to 8000 ppm (mg/kg), which has antioxidant properties. The oil is produced with six processes of screening, roasting, smoke removing, pressing, filtering and settling. With pure physical pressing, the crude oil from the first process is taken to retain the pure sesame aroma.
Arawana Virgin Sesame Oil
Gold award granted by Asia Import News
Arawana virgin sesame oil is mainly made of high quality sesame produced from east Africa. After the sesame is toasted and crushed physically, only the first batch of sesame oil would be collected. The product relies on moderate processing production craft and anhydrous dephosphorization technology, so as to keep more fragrance and the nutritious phospholipid, with more than 40 milligrams of natural nutrition phospholipid in every 100 grams of oil. The fragrance is therefore pure, natural and mellow.
Arawana sesame oil from the first process produced with ancient method
Silver award granted by Asia Import News
Arawana sesame oil from the first process is produced with carefully selected yellow and white sesame seeds with high oil content and good quality from Ethiopia and China, containing the active nutrient sesame lignan up to 8000ppm (mg/kg). It adopts a seven-step process and segmented oil extraction technology to take the first section of the pressed sesame oil from the first process at the expense of low oil yield. Only 1 kg of the oil can be gained from 8 kg sesame seeds, which is more than 3 times materials cost of producing 1kg ordinary sesame oil . Pure physical pressing can retain the pure aroma of sesame, providing a double enjoyment of good nutrition and rich aroma.
These three products are pure sesame oils with pure and strong fragrance. They could be extensively used in cold dishes, or in dipping sauce, or in soup or in meat stuffing. Because of its nutrient-rich and delicious, it is a good choice for homemade food.
