Cold Pressed White Sesame Oil

This white sesame oil is cold-pressed in the old-fashioned way, thick with aroma and warmth. The seeds are toasted over a meticulously controlled wood fire, steamed to break down the seed walls, then shaped into oilseed cakes in circular molds. These circular cakes, wrapped in paper, are stacked in a hydraulic press and slowly compressed together to squeeze out the oil. Unlike expeller-pressed sesame oil, a method that generates heat, this compression method is a low-heat process, which keeps the oil as pure and unaltered as possible.The resulting oil is toasty, fresh and well balanced. Sesame oil is healthy oil, containing mostly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats and is packed with antioxidants and amino acids. Use it for salad dressings, finishing stir fries, or use as a dip. Absolutely versatile, but avoid high heat. Taste note: fragrant, sweet and slightly bitter with notes of toast and caramelThis well balanced aromatic oil is perfect for finishing dishes and seasoning. Add
