[Happy Jeong-Eun's] Fresh-Pressed Untoasted Perilla Oil
High Omega-3, Untoasted Perilla Oil
[Happy Jeong-Eun's] 100% Korean Perilla Oil (Untoasted)
Looking for the purest expression of Korean perilla oil? This is it.
Produced by Happy Jeong-Eun's, a family-run farm nestled at the foot of Korea's beautiful Jirisan Mountain, this exceptional oil is crafted from 100% Korean-grown perilla seeds sourced from local farmers—never imported.
Unlike most perilla oils, the seeds are gently dried using minimal heat rather than roasted, then low-temperature pressed to preserve their naturally high Omega-3 content, delicate aroma, and nutrients.
The result is a beautifully balanced oil with a light, clean taste, a subtle nutty aroma, and a smooth finish that won't overpower your food.
Why Choose Untoasted Perilla Oil?
Jirisan Chereum produces several styles of perilla oil, each offering a different flavor profile depending on how long the seeds are roasted.
As roasting increases, the oil becomes darker, richer, and nuttier—but prolonged roasting also reduces some of the seed's naturally occurring nutrients.
Because this oil is unroasted, it retains the highest concentration of Omega-3 (ALA) naturally found in the perilla seed, making it an excellent choice for those seeking its nutritional benefits while enjoying a clean, delicate flavor.
Naturally Rich in Plant-Based Omega-3
Perilla oil is one of nature's richest plant-based sources of Omega-3 (ALA)—containing more Omega-3 than mackerel and more than any other commonly consumed plant-based oil.
It's a simple and delicious way to incorporate more plant-based Omega-3 into your daily diet.
Lighter Flavor than Toasted Perilla Oil.
Compared to toasted perilla oil, this variety is much lighter in taste and aroma.
Enjoy it:
- Drizzled over fresh salads
- Mixed into yogurt
- Over warm, freshly cooked rice
- Or simply by the spoonful as part of your daily routine
Pressed Fresh to Order
Unlike mass-produced oils that sit on warehouse shelves, Jirisan Chereum never presses large batches in advance.
Instead, they press only enough seeds to meet each day's orders, ensuring every bottle reaches you at peak freshness with the fullest aroma and flavor possible.
Available in 160 ml and 270 ml.
How to Store: Refrigerate after opening to preserve freshness.

✓ Benzopyrene-Free
Our perilla oil is regularly tested to ensure no detectable benzopyrene
What is Benzopyrene? Benzopyrene is a naturally occurring compound that can form when foods are exposed to very high temperatures or smoke. In perilla oil, it can develop if perilla seeds are roasted too aggressively before pressing. Because it is classified as a potential carcinogen, reputable producers regularly test for it to ensure food safety.
