Grilled Sesame Oil

Attention: exceptional product! The “Kuki” sesame oil is not just any oil. Made using the traditional method, from roasted seeds of sesame, white, blonde, and black, it undergoes a cold pressing where only the oil extracted during the first press is retained. Rested for two to four weeks, the oil is then filtered several times for a clear result – and exceptional quality. You will be charmed by its amber hue but especially by its unique taste: both round and intense, with subtle roasted notes.

Production of the “Kuki” house, this oil reflects the history of the family of the same name, established in Japan for over four centuries, first famous for its military exploits, then settled in Yokkaichi, in Mie Prefecture (Kansai region located south of Honshū Island), where it earned its stripes as a reseller, then as a producer. Abandoning rapeseed oil due to a lack of raw materials, the Kuki turned to other vegetable oils, including sesame oil. Sesame is now the basis of many of their products, which have a well-established reputation. So: go for it!

Usage : Because it can literally be used in all kinds of dishes, sesame oil is a must-have at home. The power of this “Kuki” production oil will enhance both your hot dishes (broths, stir-fries, or stews) and cold dishes (salads or pickled vegetables); we love it with Chinese cabbage, seasoned with a hint of chili. Perfect in vinaigrette, this oil will also be part of the composition of hummus and can even be used for frying, for competition-level tempura.
