Yellow sesame seeds from local heirloom seed are produced in the fields of Dağdere, Gördes and Manisa.
In sesame production, chemical pesticides are not applied and natural fertilization is applied.
Sesame seeds are sown dry, collected by hand and dried in the sun.
Sesame harvest is done in October-November, and it is squeezed throughout the year.
While squeezing the tahini, the shells of the sesame seeds are usually sieved. However, Black Tahini is obtained by cold squeezing the sesame seeds without being separated from their shells.
It is a thick tahini obtained by roasting the local Gördes sesame twice.
It is squeezed from yellow sesame that is collected by hand and dried in the sun.
