You can expect a clean, delicately mild flavor with overtones of toasted seeds from this exquisite bottle of virgin sesame oil. Boasting a beautiful chestnut color, this virgin oil is crafted to preserve its nutritional qualities and essential flavor to intrigue the taste buds. We import it directly from France, where it is produced in Bourbonnais by the folks at LaPalisse who have been making exquisite oils since 1898, and are serious about evoking authentic and flavorful oil from each sesame seed and bottling the true essence. The seeds are manually harvested and carefully selected for a flawless bottle. Full of antioxidants, and known for abundant health benefits, sesame oil is thought relieve stress and control blood pressure in Eastern medicine.

This oil has a high smoke point, so you can use it when cooking with high, direct heat. Reach for this bottle when sauteing, or making a pan-fried dish or a stir-fry.
