Olivier Rœllinger's words
Sesame's subtle, understated taste is due to the very low levels of essential oils in the seeds.
Black sesame seeds have pleasant bitter notes and a bolder flavor than golden sesame seeds. When toasted, golden sesame seeds develop flavors that are reminiscient of grilled bread, almonds, and hazelnuts .
Black sesame seeds can be used the same way as poppy seeds to add crunch and color. Use them to add color and texture contrast to blinis, rolls, and cookies/biscuits. They can also be toasted beforehand to bring out their crunch and flavor.
