Cold-pressed from organic sesame seeds, sesame oil is light in colour and flavour and has a subtle nutty taste. Its high smoke point makes it an excellent oil for high heat cooking. It’s an ideal oil for salad dressings and cooking, especially East Asian and South Asian dishes. Our organic sesame oil is not roasted and should not be confused with dark sesame oil, which is mainly used as flavouring for food rather than as a cooking oil.
Adds a lovely nutty flavour to my Indonesian cooking, and in fact is better suited for frying because of the high smoke point, which leaves me with more olive oil for my salads and pastas.
