Pure Ispica Sesame Cream – Veg Sicilia

Some ingredients can define a preparation even when used in small quantities. Sesame is one of them: a raw ingredient with a distinctive flavour, appreciated in various culinary traditions and particularly interesting for its versatility in the kitchen. Veg Sicilia dedicates a cream preparation to it, placing Ispica Sesame at the centre, selected from Sicilian agricultural producers.

The Pure Ispica Sesame Cream belongs to the plant-based specialities range of the Veg Sicilia brand, a venture born from the vision of Luce Pennisi and a project focused on researching and selecting products from Sicily. The company's attention is centred on local raw ingredients and collaboration with small farms, often family-run, which directly grow the ingredients used in their products. This approach highlights the relationship with local producers and knowledge of the island's agricultural resources.

The star of this speciality is Ispica Sesame, a crop associated with south-eastern Sicily and promoted through the Slow Food Presidia project. It is a raw ingredient with a clear regional identity, selected by Veg Sicilia through its relationships with local farms. The cream recipe contains just one ingredient: 100% Ispica sesame seeds. The process includes light toasting, which gives the product its aromatic profile before the seeds are transformed into a cream.

Its creamy texture makes this speciality particularly interesting for a wide range of culinary uses. It can be enjoyed on its own, spread on bread or used as an ingredient to enrich various preparations. Suggested uses include hummus and babaganoush, two recipes from Middle Eastern culinary tradition in which sesame adds a distinctive note. It can also be used to prepare sauces and dressings, to accompany vegetables and other dishes.

Sesame cream can also be an interesting choice for breakfast, thanks to its versatility and the ease with which it can be incorporated into different preparations. Its distinctive flavour allows for both simple uses and more elaborate recipes, offering new possibilities to those who enjoy experimenting in the kitchen and making the most of ingredients associated with Sicilian agricultural production.

With this product, Veg Sicilia continues its journey dedicated to Sicilian plant-based specialities, giving prominence to a local raw ingredient through a simple preparation in which sesame remains the undisputed star. Pure Ispica Sesame Cream is an interesting choice for those who wish to discover ingredients connected with local production and bring a speciality with a recognisable Sicilian identity into their kitchen.
