La Tourangelle Toasted Sesame Oil, 169 Fl Oz (5 Liters)

La Tourangelle Toasted Sesame Oil is handcrafted from high-quality sesame seeds harvested from South America or Africa. The seeds are toasted and then expeller (machine) pressed to extract the oil. This oil is filtered several times and then bottled. Our mill slowly roasts the sesame seeds at lower temperatures. The result is a deep amber, richly flavored oil with a subtle toasted taste. Sesame oil has long been the universal cooking medium in Asia, imparting its distinctive flavor to the foods of the region. It is added as a flavor highlight to cooked dishes in Chinese and Korean cuisine. The Japanese often add about 10% toasted Sesame Oil to the oil used for tempura or deep-frying, creating a rich background flavor. American cooks may want to use Sesame Oil to flavor an Asian stir-fry or noodle dish or as a marinade for meat or fish. Sesame Oil, rice vinegar, fresh grated ginger, and mustard are a delicious dressing for any combination of salad greens. Its low saturated fatty acid content and high unsaturated fatty acid content make it a very healthy oil.
