CLEANSingle ingredient: cold-pressed organic sesame oil, unrefined and unbleached.

Cold-pressed sesame oil brings a warm, nutty depth to everyday cooking without the solvents or refining a supermarket oil goes through. Pressed slowly from certified organic sesame seeds grown in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, it stays unrefined, unbleached and undeodorised, which is why it pours a natural golden colour and smells of the seed it came from. The flavour holds up in tadka, stir-fries and pickles, and it doubles as a traditional massage and oil-pulling oil.

Why We Like It

Single ingredient, pressed cold, left unrefined — the nuttiness carries in a tadka, which it does not in a bleached oil.
Pressed on a wooden ghani rather than hexane-extracted, which is the industry default.
Suits low and medium heat; treat high smoke-point claims on any unrefined sesame with caution.

What to look for in Sesame Oil?

Look for cold-pressed, wood-pressed or ghani on the pack. Refined oils are usually hexane-extracted, and that step is never declared.

The ingredient list should read as one oil. Blends are legal but dilute what you are paying for.

Unrefined oil carries its own colour and smell. A pale, odourless oil has been bleached and deodorised.

Buy a size you will finish in a few months. Unrefined oil oxidises faster than refined.

Cold-pressed sesame suits low and medium heat. Treat high smoke-point claims on unrefined sesame with caution.
