Fresh, nutty and wonderfully versatile

This is the perfect everyday perilla oil. Its gently toasted flavor adds richness without overpowering the dish.

Made with 100% Korean perilla seeds, sourced from local farmers in South Korea's Mt. Jirisan region.

What does it taste like?

It strikes the perfect balance: richer and nuttier than untoasted perilla oil, yet lighter, cleaner and less smoky than traditionally roasted varieties.

The longer perilla seeds are roasted, the darker and nuttier the oil becomes.

Perfect for everyday Korean cooking

Drizzle it over bibimbap, toss it into noodles (막국수), season sautéed vegetables, or use it to dress fresh salads and namul.

It's also delicious mixed with soy sauce for a simple dipping sauce.

What makes this toasted perilla oil special?

100% Korea-grown perilla seeds, roasted and pressed at low temperatures, and produced in a HACCP-certified facility.

Made with 100% Korea-grown perilla seeds

Never blended with imported seeds from China or India.

Low-temperature roasted and pressed

Using the lowest possible heat, the perilla seeds are gently roasted and pressed to preserve their natural flavor and nutrients.

Quality assurance

Every batch undergoes regular quality testing, including screening for benzopyrene, so you can enjoy your perilla oil with confidence.

Test reports shown: 320 pesticide residues not detected (the maker's sesame seeds, Dec 2022) and benzopyrene not detected, within Korean food safety standards (the maker's sesame oil, May 2025).

Good enough for the ones we love most

We wouldn't settle for anything less than the very best for our own family. Our perilla oil is regularly tested to ensure no detectable benzopyrene.

What is benzopyrene? A naturally occurring compound that can form when foods are exposed to very high temperatures or smoke. In perilla oil, it can develop if the seeds are roasted too aggressively before pressing. Because it is classified as a potential carcinogen, reputable producers test for it regularly.

Light-protective amber glass

Designed to block harmful light and preserve the oil's fresh taste, aroma and quality.

HACCP-certified

Our perilla oil is produced in a HACCP-certified facility, meeting strict food safety and hygiene standards at every stage of production. With systematic quality control and rigorous sanitation, you can enjoy every bottle with confidence.

From the foothills of Jirisan, we keep making perilla oil with the same care, craftsmanship and dedication, bringing you the natural goodness of Korean perilla, safely and authentically.

Which perilla oil should I choose?

Fresh-pressed untoasted: light, clean and delicate. The seeds are gently dried using minimal heat, then low-temperature pressed.

Fresh-pressed toasted (this one): a rich, naturally nutty flavor. The seeds are lightly roasted at low temperatures, then low-temperature pressed to preserve flavor and nutrients.

Rich toasted: a deep, bold roasted flavor. The seeds are roasted longer at a controlled temperature, then low-temperature pressed.

Burnt perilla oil, by contrast, tastes strong, bitter and smoky: the seeds are roasted at excessively high temperatures before pressing.

Which one for which dish?

Untoasted keeps the pure, natural perilla flavor with no added heat: salads, yogurt, freshly cooked rice, or as a finishing oil.

Toasted (this one) has a balanced roasted flavor and rich, nutty aroma: bibimbap, namul (vegetable side dishes), salad dressings, dipping sauces, baby food and marinades.

Rich toasted has a deep, bold roasted flavor: bibimbap, namul, seaweed soup, meat marinades and Korean BBQ.

All Happy Jeong-Eun perilla oils are regularly tested for benzopyrene and produced in a HACCP-certified facility.

Keep it cool, and refrigerate after opening

Keep it away from light. Direct sunlight makes the oil deteriorate and lose quality, which is why it comes in an amber bottle.

Minimize air exposure. Close the cap tightly after each use to slow oxidation, and for the best quality, finish it within 6 months of opening.

Store it cool. Low-temperature pressed oils are sensitive to heat, so refrigerate after opening to keep it fresh and flavorful. It may cloud or set in the fridge or in winter; that doesn't affect its quality.
