Australian Sesame

Something New is Growing.

An ancient crop. A new Australian opportunity.

Sesame is one of the world's oldest cultivated crops, valued across cultures for thousands of years. Yet in Australia, commercial sesame production is only beginning to emerge. With the right growing conditions, agricultural expertise and a growing appetite for premium Australian ingredients, we believe there is an opportunity to create something genuinely distinctive.

Australian-grown sesame with an identity of its own.

7M+tonnes

2.75M

Grown Here

Australian by Nature.

Australia has built an international reputation for high-quality agriculture, rigorous food production and ingredients with a strong sense of provenance. Australian sesame is at the beginning of that journey. As varieties, growing regions and agricultural knowledge continue to develop, every harvest contributes to a deeper understanding of what Australian sesame can become. For TOSTÉ, that is part of the excitement — not simply replicating sesame grown elsewhere, but helping discover the character of sesame grown here.

Grown in Australia.
With a story still being written.

The Opportunity Ahead

From First Harvest to Future Harvests.

First Harvest 2026 represents a beginning, not a destination. As Australian sesame develops, so too does the opportunity for growers, researchers, producers, chefs, retailers and consumers to help shape what comes next. More knowledge. More experimentation. More products. More reasons to grow, and choose, Australian sesame. TOSTÉ intends to be part of that journey: championing the ingredient, creating demand and helping Australian sesame earn its place at tables here and around the world.

This is the first harvest.
The opportunity is much bigger.
