Pavone Sesame Seeds, the practical shaker for professionals
Pavone Sesame Seeds are selected white sesame seeds of Indian origin, supplied in a 700 g shaker with a dosing cap, in a case of 6 units. They are a versatile ingredient for bakeries, pizzerias, pastry shops and professional kitchens that want fast, clean and precise dosing without waste.
What sesame is
Sesame (Sesamum indicum) is one of the oldest oilseeds cultivated by humans, prized for its small flat seeds rich in natural oils, with a delicate, nutty flavour that intensifies when toasted. White sesame is the most common variety in baking and confectionery, where it is used both whole and toasted.
Origin
The seeds are of Indian origin, India being one of the world's leading producers of sesame. The selection and packaging are carried out by Pavone Garuti.
The producer Pavone Garuti
Pavone Garuti has been selecting and packaging spices, seeds and culinary ingredients since 1955, combining artisan care, tradition and innovation. The Pavone brand offers a wide range of spices, seeds, salts and ingredients for international cuisine, packaged in practical formats designed for professional use.
Sensory characteristics
Small flat seeds, ivory-white colour, dry and free-flowing. The flavour is delicate and nutty, becoming more aromatic and crunchy after light toasting in a dry pan or oven.
Technical specifications
Net weight 700 g per shaker, case of 6 shakers. Shaker with red dosing cap for clean, controlled portioning. Store in a cool, dry place between 15 and 22 C, humidity below 60 percent, away from heat and direct light. Contains sesame, a regulated allergen.
Uses in the professional kitchen
Topping for bread, rolls, burger buns, grissini and crackers before baking; decoration for biscuits, taralli and savoury doughs; base for tahini and hummus; finishing for poke bowls, salads, roasted vegetables and Asian dishes; coating for fish, chicken and tofu before frying or baking.
