Sesamum Indicum - Ceratonia Silica

The pâté of darkness is a blend of whole-ground tahini made from unhulled sesame and two kinds of carob syrup.

Its name is inspired by its sticky texture, its intense taste and its dark color.

It is a sweet of high nutritional value. It is recommended for breakfast with fruit, yogurt or as a spread on bread, and as a snack. It is also energizing for physical work, or can be eaten as a sweet treat, an excellent accompaniment to coffee.

Sesame is turned into paste, that is tahini, in a stone mill.

The carob syrup (of two kinds) is one that is concentrated in a vacuum pump and heated to 70

degrees Celsius, and another that is boiled and therefore caramelized.

Their combination gives the pâté of darkness its desired bittersweet balance.
