Mesmara Hulled White Sesame Oil

Wood-Pressed Hulled White Sesame Oil

(Authentic Andhra “Pappu Nune”)

Rooted in the culinary heritage of Andhra Pradesh, Mesmara Hulled White Sesame Oil—fondly known as “Pappu Nune”—is more than just cooking oil. It is a staple in everyday Telugu homes, deeply woven into tradition, taste, and emotion.

The Soul of Andhra Kitchens

In Andhra cuisine, sesame oil (nuvvula nune) plays a vital role—from daily cooking to iconic pickles like Avakaya, where it acts as both a flavour enhancer and natural preservative. (Wikipedia)
From hot rice with pappu to spicy pickles, this oil is at the heart of every comforting meal.

Why Hulled Sesame Oil is Superior

At Mesmara, we go a step further.

We remove the outer husk (hull) of the sesame seeds before pressing—transforming the oil into something truly special:

• Smoother, lighter texture

• Naturally sweeter, nutty flavour

• Less bitterness compared to unhulled oils

• Golden colour and refined aroma

This makes it especially perfect for pickles, where taste clarity and balance matter most. Hulled oils are known for their milder flavour and lighter profile, making them more versatile and palatable.

Crafted the Traditional Way (Ghani Wood Pressed)

Our oil is extracted using the ancient wood-pressed (Ghani) method, ensuring:

• No heat generation

• No chemical processing

• Maximum retention of nutrients and natural antioxidants

The process stays true to tradition:

• Handpicked, sun-dried sesame seeds

• Carefully dehulled and cleaned

• Slowly pressed in a wooden ghani

• Naturally settled under sunlight for purity

The Ultimate Oil for Pickles

If you know Andhra food, you know this:

No great pickle exists without great oil.

Mesmara Pappu Nune is:

• The preferred choice for mango pickles (Avakai)

• Ideal for gongura, lemon, and traditional ooragaya

• A natural preservative that enhances shelf life and depth of flavour

Avakai, a cultural symbol of Telugu households, relies heavily on sesame oil for its signature taste and preservation. (Wikipedia)

Everyday Versatility

Beyond pickles, this oil elevates:

• Dal (pappu) and hot rice

• Frying, sautéing, and seasoning

• Traditional Andhra curries and podis

• Chutneys and marinades

Pure. Artisan. Mesmara.

Crafted in small batches with no chemicals or additives, our oils reflect authenticity, care, and generations of wisdom.
