What remains tells another story.

After we press our Australian-grown black sesame for TOSTĒ sesame oil, this is what remains — our defatted black sesame meal.

Rich, nutty and naturally containing around 45% protein, we don’t see it as a by-product. We see it as an ingredient waiting for its next chapter.

So today, we’re back in the kitchen, thinking, tasting and experimenting.

What could this become?
A new pantry staple? A savoury ingredient? Something sweet? Something completely unexpected?

For us, making Australian sesame oil is only the beginning.

Nothing wasted. More to come.

Busy keeping up with demand — and loving every minute of it.

Printing, pressing, bottling and packing more TOSTĒ every day.

Thank you so much for keeping us busy, Australia. We’re incredibly grateful for your support. 🇦🇺

🍨 A drizzle of TOSTĒ over ice cream might sound unexpected, but the coolness of ice cream brings out a surprisingly nutty depth in our sesame oil !! Sweet and nutty with just a little drizzle of TOSTĒ.

Sometimes, the unexpected pairings are the best ones. ✨

We’re incredibly proud to see TOSTĒ — Australia’s first and only toasted sesame oil made entirely from Australian-grown sesame seeds — featured by Broadsheet Media today.

Thank you to Broadsheet Melbourne for shining a spotlight not only on our oils, but also on the emerging Australian sesame industry behind them.

What began in 2017 as a vision to create value from locally grown sesame has become TOSTĒ: single-origin sesame oil made from Queensland-grown seeds, gently toasted, mechanically pressed and bottled in small batches in Melbourne.

Just weeks after launching, our two black sesame oils were recognised at the 2026 Sydney Royal Fine Food Show by the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW:

🥇 GOLD — Heritage Black Sesame Oil
🥈 SILVER — First Harvest Black Sesame Oil

The feature beautifully captures why we created TOSTĒ: to show that sesame oil is not limited to Asian cooking. It is a premium Australian finishing oil that can elevate pasta, salads, steak, roasted vegetables, bread — and even vanilla ice cream.

We’re deeply grateful to the growers, researchers, industry partners, chefs and customers who have helped bring this new Australian sesame story to life:
AgriFutures Australia, University of Southern Queensland CQUniversity Agriventis Technologies, Australian Sesame Industry Development Association and mostly importantly growers.

Special thanks to Pilar Mitchell for telling our story with such care, Michael Gardenia for the beautiful photography, and Broadsheet Media for this generous feature and support.

Ancient ingredient. A new Australian story.

Made in a tiny Melbourne factory, Toste's single-origin oils have already won awards and impressed one of Australia's top Korean chefs. But it's not just for cooking Asian dishes.

Craig, hard at work-perfecting every detail, one sesame seed at a time.
The T in TOSTE.
Black sesame. White sesame. One new Australian story.
Here’s to Sesame. Here‘s to TOSTE.

Garlic prawn pasta, finished with a generous drizzle of TOSTĒ. 🦐

The nutty, aromatic flavour of Australian-grown sesame adds a rich finishing touch to this simple pasta, bringing everything together without overpowering the dish.

The perfect finishing oil for pasta, salads, roasted vegetables and everything in between.

A little drizzle goes a long way. ✨
