Sesame and Peanut Paste, Stone Ground

Very Taiwan, this is a sesame paste that’s actually half sesame paste and half peanut butter. Use it anywhere that calls for sesame paste, but especially for Taiwanese Peanut Noodles, a cold noodle dish enjoyed in the early mornings after a long night.

Our sesame pastes are slowly stone ground between two smooth circular stones. This process generates very little heat, so the end product is pure in flavor, nutrients, and texture. Many nut butters and pastes are blade ground (even making peanuts in your food processor) which raise temperatures and can change the taste and texture.
