Review: Good to know prior buying - I recently purchased this toasted sesame oil, and it has quickly become a staple in my kitchen! The aroma is rich and nutty, and it adds an incredible depth of flavor to everything from stir-fries to salads. One of my favorite ways to use it is for a super quick dressing: just mix 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey, and a pinch of chili flakes—and voilà! You have a delicious, restaurant-quality dressing in under a minute. It’s versatile, flavorful, and a little goes a long way. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to elevate everyday meals without fuss! The smell and flavor is very different from olive oil, so it gives you e perception of completely different dressing if you substitute your regular olive oil with this one sometimes. Toasted sesame oil is considered healthy for several reasons, especially when used in moderation as a flavor enhancer rather than a cooking staple: 1. Rich in Healthy Fats: • It contains mostly unsaturated fats, particularly polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which are good for heart health. • These fats can help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and support healthy cholesterol levels. 2. Packed with Antioxidants: • Sesame oil contains sesamol and sesamin, natural antioxidants that help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. • Antioxidants may reduce inflammation and support overall health. 3. Supports Heart Health: • Studies suggest sesame oil may improve blood pressure and arterial function, thanks to its healthy fat profile and antioxidant content. 4. Contains Vitamins and Minerals: • Small amounts of vitamin E, vitamin K, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc are present, contributing to overall nutrition. 5. May Help Control Blood Sugar: • Some research indicates sesame oil can help regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity when incorporated into a balanced diet. 6. Lightly Processed (if toasted): • Toasted sesame oil is usually minimally processed, so it retains more nutrients and antioxidants compared to heavily refined oils.
Review: Delicious , high quality toasted sesame oil. - Stir fry beef or chicken with this oil, with a touch of tamari ( gluten free) or soy sauce. Add broccoli florets. Top it off with a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Make some rice and voila! Dinner in 20 minutes. Toasted sesame oil is a great addition.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does this compare to Kadoya Sesame Oil?  Thanks!**
A: Kadoya sesame oil is more fragrant and nuttier tasting than LaTourangelle's.  La Tourangelle's sesame oil used to taste much like Kadoya's a few years back, and I enjoyed the better pricing of La Tourangelle, but when I bought a new bottle, I've noticed distinct flavor change.  I looked at the bottle, and they now source their oil from Mexico in addition to Japan.  I don't have anything against Mexican sesame, but the flavor is not what it used to be.  It's definitely lighter tasting, less aromatic.  I need to use more oil to get the flavor I want into dishes, and still not the same.

**Q: Does this product need to be refrigerated? Most bottles of sesame oil have a note on the label to be refrigerated.**
A: The La Tourangelle company website says to refrigerate after opening. Unopened, it has a  shelf life of 24 months. After opening, it is best used within 6 months. Also, the company says that it paired with a Japanese company that uses a 270 year old traditional method of crafting. Sounds a lot like the Kadoya brand to me, but maybe not.

**Q: What the Smoke point of the la Tourangelle sesame oil?? Is it a cold-pressed oil?**
A: You would have to go to the La Tourangelle website for that info.  I don't fry with it, I saute asparagus or other veggies with it and unbreaded chicken tenders.

**Q: where it is made**
A: company that distributes is from CA but product is made in Japan
