Why virgin?
Virgin oil, like cold pressed oil, is obtained through a process of mechanical extraction. The difference is that with virgin oils the seed goes through minimal heat processing before extraction. This produces a more stable oil with a stronger flavour.
Why unrefined?
Unlike processed cooking oils which need to go through at least 6 refining phases, virgin oils are naturally pure and do not need to go through a single refining process.
Granum Virgin Toasted Sesame Oil is obtained by cold pressing toasted sesame seeds. It has a lustrous dark hue and a characteristic taste and aroma. It is a favourite in Asian cuisines and is particularly valued for its stability and rich taste in the macrobiotic tradition.
Uses: A versatile oil particularly suited to wok cooking and deep frying because of its high smoke point.
Ingredients: 100% toasted sesame seed oil
Allergen advice: For allergens see ingredients in bold. May contain traces of nuts.
