Wangma Sesame Oil: A Fragrant Delight for All Households

The small-mill sesame oil production technique of Wangma Village, Tangshan Town, Huantai County, boasts a history of over 200 years. As a renowned local specialty, it gained fame across the Shandong region for its rich color, clarity, and aroma, enjoying widespread popularity for a time. With the progression of time, the production of Wangma small-mill sesame oil has evolved from manual roasting to electric drum roasting, and the stone mills are now powered by electricity instead of manual labor. Despite these technological advancements, the core of the traditional craftsmanship has been faithfully preserved. (By Zhang Jingfu, Sun Jia)
