The producer
The producer is Panificio Benetollo Renzo, at Via Luganega 107/a, 35010 Vigonza (PD), Italy. The brand is Panificio Benetollo. The legal name is fine bakery product with vegetable charcoal and black sesame seeds. LAPA is the supplier and importer for Switzerland according to the available product information.
Features and sensory profile
Vegetable charcoal colors the dough fully black; the product sheet does not assign a particular charcoal taste to the bun. BLACK SESAME is present at 6.5% and brings a toasted note and a recognizable texture. The bun is already split, so the inside is ready for toasting and filling. At 80 g, it suits a complete burger while remaining easy to handle during service. The contrast between black bun, pale sauces, green salad, fish or colorful ingredients can become part of the plate composition.

Regeneration and professional kitchen use
The operational advantage is the producer’s cut: the bun does not need to be divided in the kitchen and the portion remains even. Leave it at room temperature for about 20 minutes, as indicated by the producer. Then heat on a griddle or in a hot oven. For professional service, use 1-2 minutes per side on the griddle or 3-5 minutes in an oven at 160-180 °C. The already cut inside can be toasted with clarified butter after reviewing allergen handling and possible MILK traces. Fill immediately after heating. The pre-cut format reduces knife work, cutting waste and the time from preparation to dispatch.
Serving ideas and pairings
The black bun creates sharp contrast with light and colorful fillings and suits a contemporary menu or event. Pair it with beef, pale cheese, crispy onion and a creamy sauce. For a seafood direction, choose fish, salad and a fresh sauce. BLACK SESAME works with crispy chicken, cabbage and yogurt sauce. In catering and banqueting, the even cut helps the team prepare many portions at the same height. For a substantial aperitif, use a smaller filling and serve the bun as a pre-cut bite. In food photography, black highlights green, red and pale ingredients. Communicate SESAME and every allergen in the complete recipe.
