Sesame Seed Oil

Oil pressed from sesame seeds. Toasted oil is dark and smells of the roasted seed. Refined sesame oil is paler and used for cooking at higher heat.

Origin

Sesame has been pressed for oil for millennia across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

Toasted oil is nutty and intense. Refined oil is milder.

Add toasted oil off the heat as a seasoning. Use refined oil when the recipe expects a cooking oil.

Cool and dark. Toasted oil keeps its aroma longer in the fridge.
