The renowned and beneficial condiment of oriental origin, reinterpreted to enhance and value the typical ingredients of our territory. Gomasio with aromatic herbs from the Iblei Mountains, Ispica sesame seeds (Slow Food Presidium), and salt from the WWF Nature Reserve of Trapani will conquer you with its original and delicate flavor. Gomasio is an oriental preparation based on sesame seeds (goma) and salt (shio), widely used in macrobiotic cuisine and in Ayurvedic medicine for its therapeutic properties. Used instead of salt, it helps to reduce sodium intake in our diet. It is rich in minerals, particularly calcium, and proteins, B vitamins, vitamins A, D, E, and PP. Additionally, it contains essential fatty acids like omega-3 and omega-6, proving to be a valid aid for cardiovascular health. In summer, it is an excellent ally against the heat, as it reduces thirst and helps stabilize sodium and potassium levels in the blood. Ispica sesame – Slow Food Presidium Gomasio Dolci Evasioni exclusively uses Ispica sesame. This area, located in the province of Ragusa, guards an ancient production of sesame, introduced to Sicily during the Arab domination. The Ispica variety was selected two centuries ago by local farmers and features small seeds, an amber color, and an intense flavor. Ispica sesame has always been known, sought after, and appreciated for its high quality. Today, cultivation is limited to a few hectares, farmed by a small number of producers who still use entirely manual farming techniques on small plots of land. Thanks to these characteristics, Ispica sesame has been recently recognized as a Slow Food Presidium. The herbs from the Iblei Mountains and the salt from the WWF Nature Reserve of Trapani Another distinctive feature of our Gomasio is the aromatic herbs from the Iblei Mountains, grown, harvested, and dried carefully through our social agriculture project, Frutti degli Iblei. Among the varieties we cultivate in our fields, we have selected oregano, rosemary, sage, and thyme, which give the condiment a unique aroma, with an unmistakable scent of Sicily. Finally, the Gomasio with Herbs Dolci Evasioni is produced exclusively with salt from the salt pans within the WWF Nature Reserve of Trapani. This sea salt is precious for many reasons: the salt pans of Trapani and Paceco are among the last productive ones left in Sicily; the territory boasts an extraordinary natural, landscape, architectural, and ethnographic heritage; finally, Trapani sea salt contains more potassium and magnesium and less sodium chloride compared to other table salts. Gomasio Sweet Escapes Our laboratory team inside the prison of Syracuse carefully prepares this precious and unique product for the extraordinary combination of its ingredients, closely monitoring all steps: the grinding of the sesame and the salt must result in a medium grain size, neither too fine nor too coarse; roasting must keep temperatures and times under control to best preserve the properties of the sesame. The result is a fragrant condiment, with a strong yet delicate flavor, ideal for seasoning and enhancing all your dishes. Gomasio with herbs from Dolci Evasioni received the Silver Medal award (an "excellent" product) at the International Taste Awards 2020.
