About us
The story behind
our sesame oil
From the rich soils of trusted local farms, our sesame oil begins with ethically sourced, sun-dried seeds, gently cold-pressed to preserve their natural golden colour and distinct nutty flavour.
Sesame, known in Uganda as simsim, has traditionally been used both for cooking and for care. Our oil is virgin and unrefined: nothing is added and nothing is taken away. We do not use chemical solvents or heat refining, and we add no preservatives.
Every bottle is our promise: pure, honest oil crafted with care, to nourish your meals, your skin and your way of life.
How to store it
Store tightly sealed in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Our dark glass bottles help preserve the oil by reducing light exposure, which slows oxidation.
