Our Toasted Sesame Oil is a finishing oil, not a cooking oil, prized for its incredibly powerful, nutty, and roasted aroma and flavor. It is made from sesame seeds that have been toasted before pressing. This process gives it a dark color and an intense fragrance. A few drops are all that is needed to add a huge burst of authentic Asian flavor to stir-fries, noodle dishes, soups, and marinades just before serving. An essential condiment in Asian cuisine.
