Gently Roasted, Pressed Cold

[Saebyeok Mill] 100% Cold-Pressed, Lightly Toasted Sesame Oil (200ml)

Meet 100% Cold-Pressed Sesame Oil from Saebyeok Mill in Yangpyeong, the farming county just east of Seoul.

Most Korean sesame oil is made by roasting the seeds hard and pressing them hot. It's bold and familiar, but the heat changes the oil, and the bottle often ends with a layer of sediment at the bottom.

Saebyeok Mill does it differently. Native sesame seeds, grown only in Yangpyeong and never blended with seeds from other regions, come from the latest autumn harvest. They're rinsed three times in clean water, roasted gently at a low 60°C, then pressed just once at only 12°C (cold-pressed).

A cold press gives less than half the oil of a regular one, so it's a slower, costlier way to work. What you get is a clean, clear oil that still carries a rich sesame aroma. Customers love how it smells the moment the cap comes off, and how clear it stays, with no sediment in the bottle.

So what's inside?
