14 best sesame oils

Product description

La Tourangelle Toasted Sesame oil is pure, all-natural and handcrafted from high-quality sesame seeds harvested from South America or Africa. The seeds are toasted and then expeller (machine) pressed to extract the oil. This oil is filtered several times and then bottled. Our mill slowly roasts the sesame seeds using lower temperatures. The result is a deep amber, richly flavored oil with a subtle toasted taste. Sesame Oil has long been the universal cooking medium in Asia, imparting the characteristic flavor to the foods of its regions. In Chinese and Korean cuisine, it is added as a flavor highlight to cooked dishes. The Japanese often add about 10% toasted Sesame Oil to the oil used for tempura or deep-frying, creating a rich, background flavor. American cooks may want to use Sesame Oil to flavor an Asian stir-fry or noodle dish or as a marinade for meat or fish. Sesame Oil, rice vinegar, fresh grated ginger, and mustard is a delicious dressing for any combination of salad greens. Sesame Oil, is an ancient ingredient. The Assyrians used it as a cooking oil more than 600 years before Christ. It was expensive, however, and a hundred years later in Persia only the rich could afford it. It is still used as a medicine in India , and oil pressed from the raw seed is a massage oil in Ayurvedic medicine. Its low saturated fatty acid content and high unsaturated fatty acid content makes it a very healthy oil. La Tourangelle is one of few remaining oil mills keeping a time-honored French heritage of roasting and pressing nut kernels into delicious oils. We are a family-owned company whose mastery of oil production is the fruit of passion, integrity, and pride. We strive to be the best artisan oil producer, dedicated to making carefully crafted, sustainable, natural products. With artisan care, we extract the seeds' essence and hidden natural treasures to create amazing products that bring delight in the kitchen and well being for the body.

User questions & answers

Question:	where it is made
Answer:	company that distributes is from CA but product is made in Japan
Question:	What the Smoke point of the la Tourangelle sesame oil?? Is it a cold-pressed oil
Answer:	You would have to go to the La Tourangelle website for that info. I don't fry with it, I saute asparagus or other veggies with it and unbreaded chicken tenders.
Question:	Does this product need to be refrigerated? Most bottles of sesame oil have a note on the label to be refrigerated
Answer:	The La Tourangelle company website says to refrigerate after opening. Unopened, it has a shelf life of 24 months. After opening, it is best used within 6 months. Also, the company says that it paired with a Japanese company that uses a 270 year old traditional method of crafting. Sounds a lot like the Kadoya brand to me, but maybe not.
Question:	How does this compare to Kadoya Sesame Oil? Thanks
Answer:	Kadoya sesame oil is more fragrant and nuttier tasting than LaTourangelle's. La Tourangelle's sesame oil used to taste much like Kadoya's a few years back, and I enjoyed the better pricing of La Tourangelle, but when I bought a new bottle, I've noticed distinct flavor change. I looked at the bottle, and they now source their oil from Mexico in addition to Japan. I don't have anything against Mexican sesame, but the flavor is not what it used to be. It's definitely lighter tasting, less aromatic. I need to use more oil to get the flavor I want into dishes, and still not the same.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this dark sesame oil
Answer:	If you are asking whether it is black sesame oil, it is not. It is sesame oil from regular light brown-colored sesame seeds.
Question:	Is it cold-pressed, just pressed or distilled
Answer:	Cold pressed yields a light oil. The intent of cold pressing is to retain higher nutrient value. I doubt they would toast the seeds first and then cold press, that wouldn't be the case typically.
Question:	What is the expiration date
Answer:	I purchased mine in May 2018 and the expiration is 7/25/19. Really like this a lot!
Question:	Is this product produced/bottled in Korea
Answer:	The product of Ottogi is made from Korea, for the most part. Ottogi is one of the most famous Korean Food brands like Samsung, but for food industries. I always buy this product, and this is always "made in Korea" products. If you have ever seen made in China, I would assume it should be a different brand or fake version/knockoff. I know that this seller is definitely one of the legitimate authorized sellers, and "IT IS MADE IN KOREA."

Question:	could i fry an egg with this oil

User questions & answers

Question:	how do you get the lid to close securely
Answer:	Gently squeeze the lower lid until you hear a pop then press back on top of can. I threw my plastic guard away, but the metal top still works to keep the oil fresh.
Question:	What is the expiration date
Answer:	Expiration 1 Jan 2022
Question:	I finally figured out to open it, transferred 8oz to another container, now is there a way to securely close it
Answer:	I also had the same problem, had to transfer the entire container to a larger container. I will not buy this brand again, it is very strong and you just can't keep it sealed in the container it came in. I ended up throwing it all out.
Question:	I've asked before, and I'm asking again. Where do I find the expiration date? This is crucial info
Answer:	What's crucial is how the oil is harvested and stored. 100% pure seed oils don't expire unless exposed to other perishables, contaminants or heat. Sesame oil is best to add for flavor after the cooking is done. Cook with an oil that's stable in active heating and add the sesame oil when the cooking is done for flavoring. Hope this helps!
