Roasted sesame oil 1650g

Takemoto Oil & Fat Co. Ltd is Japan's oldest oil extraction company still in operation. Founded in 1725 by Chozaburo Takemoto in Aichi Prefecture, it is still owned by the founding family. For over 290 years, Takemoto has been producing hexane-free sesame oil to guarantee optimal quality and authentic flavor.

Traditional extraction method, which preserves the aromas and flavors, has remained unchanged since company was founded. Sesame seeds are sourced according to very strict standards, and only best sources in terms of organoleptic qualities and food safety are selected.

Each batch is checked, analyzed, and cleaned of any foreign matter. To make roasted sesame oils, seeds are roasted at a low temperature. This step is essential to give sesame oil its unique nutty flavor. Sesame oil is extracted under pressure.

This technique is known as traditional pressure extraction method. This method is time-consuming, but it is very important for oils marketed under Maruhon flagship brand. It guarantees nutritional qualities, aromas, flavors, color, and texture of oil produced are preserved. This highly fragrant toasted sesame oil has a well-balanced flavor that pairs beautifully with a wide variety of ethnic recipes.

We recommend it as a seasoning for raw vegetable salads, grilled fish or meat, goat's cheese, mozzarella, burrata, chocolate or vanilla ice cream, and orange supremes (sprinkled with brown sugar).
