Toasted Sesame Oil from Mexico is a fascinating product — sesame has been cultivated in Mexico since the Spanish Conquest, and Mexican toasted sesame oil has a distinctive, slightly smokier character than East Asian varieties. A small bottle lasts an extraordinarily long time and adds irreplaceable depth to Asian-inspired cooking and beyond.
- Deeply nutty, aromatic and smoky — a finishing oil, not a cooking oil
- Rich in sesamol and sesamin — powerful antioxidants unique to sesame
- A little goes a very long way — use sparingly as a finishing drizzle
How to Use It
- Drizzle over finished dishes — noodles, stir-fries, soups, roasted vegetables
- Dressings: A few drops transform a simple vinaigrette
- Hummus: Swirl over the top instead of (or alongside) olive oil
- Never for frying — the low smoke point means it burns easily. Always add at the end
