Our Wood Pressed Black Sesame Oil is 100% pure, vegan, preservative-free, chemical-free, & gluten-free. We press the sesame seeds in wooden Kolhus at a low temperature. We use cold-press technology to ensure that the nutrients remain intact. Then, we let the oil sit for sedimentation for 2-3 days. Following this, we sieve filter the black sesame oil. The oil may contain some sediments, not to worry! These sediments in your oil are a mark of cold pressed oil. It has a low smoke point and is not suitable for deep-frying. Instead, you can use it for garnishing, stir-frying, salad dressing, baking, and adding to all your favourite dishes.
