La Tourangelle Toasted Sesame Oil for Cooking, Noodles, Stir-Fry, and More, 16.9 Fl Oz

La Tourangelle's Toasted Sesame Oil is a pure, all-natural product meticulously crafted from high-quality sesame seeds sourced from either South America or Africa. The process begins with toasting the seeds, followed by expeller pressing to extract the oil. After this, the oil undergoes multiple filtration processes before being bottled. Our mill takes pride in slowly roasting the sesame seeds using lower temperatures, resulting in a rich, deep amber oil with a subtly toasted flavor.

Traditionally, Sesame Oil has been a staple cooking medium across Asia, adding its distinctive flavor to various regional dishes. In Chinese and Korean culinary traditions, it serves as a delightful flavor enhancer for cooked foods. In Japan, chefs often incorporate about 10% toasted Sesame Oil into the oil used for tempura or deep-frying, giving the dishes a complex, rich taste. For American cooks, Sesame Oil makes an excellent addition to Asian stir-fries, noodle dishes, or even as a marinade for meats and fish. Additionally, a dressing made from Sesame Oil, rice vinegar, freshly grated ginger, and mustard complements any salad greens perfectly.

This ancient ingredient has a rich history; the Assyrians utilized sesame oil for cooking over 600 years before Christ. Though it was once a luxury that only the wealthy could afford in Persia a century later, its significance has persisted through the ages. In India, it continues to be used in medicinal practices, and in Ayurvedic medicine, oil pressed from raw seeds serves as a popular massage oil. Its composition, characterized by low saturated fatty acids and high unsaturated fatty acids, contributes to its reputation as a healthy oil choice.
