A toasted sesame oil from La Tourangelle, made in partnership with a Japanese sesame mill that follows traditional Japanese roasting methods. Lightly toasted, expeller-pressed, and golden-brown — closer in character to a Japanese-style toasted sesame oil than to the darker, more pungent oils common in Chinese or Korean cooking.

Made in Japan · 100% Sesame · Medium-Heat Cooking

The lighter toast gives this oil more subtle nuttiness and a cleaner finish, so it's good for finishing dishes where you don't want sesame to take over. Use it in vinaigrettes, drizzled over noodles or rice, stirred into a sesame-honey glaze, or mixed with soy sauce and rice vinegar for a quick dipping sauce. Smoke point is around 275°F — fine for sautéing, but don't try to deep-fry with it.
