La Tourangelle Vierge Sesamolie

La Tourangelle is a renowned producer of artisan oils with a rich heritage originating in Saumur, France. The brand was founded in the late 19th century by the Huilerie Croix Verte, a family-owned mill that utilized traditional techniques to extract oils from seeds and nuts. Today, the brand is celebrated globally for its high-quality specialty oils, including this virgin toasted sesame oil.

The manufacturing of La Tourangelle products occurs in two primary locations: their historic mill in the Loire Valley of France and their North American facility in Woodland, California. This dual-presence allows the company to maintain traditional European craftsmanship while serving international markets. The brand remains under the ownership of the Kohlmeyer family, who transformed the small French mill into a global leader in the specialty culinary oil category.
