Taihaku Junsei Goma Abura - Untoasted Sesame Oil 58.2 fl oz

This naturally pressed sesame oil made from untoasted white sesame seeds is manufactured by Kuki Sangyo. In 1886 Kuki Company was the first in Japan to introduce the technique of producing sesame oil by pressing seeds without the use of chemicals or additives. They have been using this method for over 120 years now.

Taihaku Junsei Goma Abura has a clear appearance and subtle aroma. It has a pure, clean taste, with a mellow nuttiness and sweetness from high quality white sesame seeds. This product bears no resemblance in flavor, aroma or color to mass-produced, overly toasted, harshly flavored, brown-colored sesame oil that has had its oil extracted with chemicals. It will help to draw out the flavors of the ingredients it is combined with, and is actually can be used as a substitute for butter in vegan cakes and other pastries.

Kuki Company uses carefully selected, organic white sesame seeds, imported from Africa and South America. The production begins with rinsing, drying and removing unwanted materials. The seeds are then transferred into a pressing machine and left to be pressed naturally. In this natural method, 20 pounds of sesame seeds produce about 8 pounds of pure sesame oil. The oil is then left to rest for over two weeks, then filtered to remove any impurities.

Untoasted sesame oil has a smoke point of 446°F degree, making this oil ideal for use in a variety of cooking applications. Sauteing, marinating, stir frying and deep frying are all excellent uses of this high quality product.
