Cookwell Toasted Pure Sesame Oil, 17 oz

I chose this toasted sesame oil for the size of the bottle and the appearance. I was using this for an Asian inspired recipe. I had never heard of the Cookwell brand before, so I was taking a bit of a chance. Before adding the oil to my recipe, I took a small spoonful to test the strength of the oil. I was impressed with the lightness of this oil, and the mild taste of the toasting. I have had other toasted oils that almost had a burnt flavor to it, making it a bit tricky to get the right amount of flavor. This oil was easy to work with. It does come in a clear jar, so I keep it in a cool dark pantry to preserve the quality. I have not tried it as a vinaigrette or as a drizzle on appetizers, but in cooking it is amazing.

I only wish the bottle was larger. Great oil for pan cooking. Gives a deep, bold, sesame taste to appetizers, tomatoes and any of your favorite Asian inspired dishes. Review wants me to mention blood pressure, not sure why, guess this is a healthy alternative to other oils. I just really enjoy using it in all of my Asian inspired dishes.
