First Cold Pressed Virgin Organic Black Sesame Oil

Unctuous, rich, soothing and worth its title of ‘Queen of Oils’, cold-pressed virgin organic Black Sesame seed oil is a versatile oil from an ancient seed domesticated 4.5 millennia ago.

Spice Zen’s cold pressed virgin organic Black Sesame oil is produced by us in Australia using certified organic, premium unhulled Black Sesame seeds. This light gold coloured oil has a delicate, sweet, nutty flavour with all the natural goodness and nutrients.

The first cold-pressed unrefined oil is produced from raw unhulled black sesame seeds which are cold-pressed only once in a cork-screw oil press. Any solid particles sediment by gravity to reveal pure liquid gold. The oil is bottled in its purest natural form without the use of any chemicals, preservatives or processing aids. The taste of this artisanal raw oil is very natural, soft and pleasant and differs from the generally available toasted or black sesame oils that can be chemically or heavily processed.

Virgin Black sesame seed oil is popular in Asian cuisine, Ayurvedic traditional medicine and cosmetic applications. Sesame oil has a smoke point of 177 degrees Celsius.

Best for sautéing, shallow-fry, as a salad dressing, marinades, sauces or finishing oil, especially for delicate seafood or char-grilled vegetables. Enjoy it with bread, dips, idlis, dumplings, soups, noodles and rice dishes.

Black Sesame oil is a powerhouse of nutrients and is known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It is a rich source of essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals (zinc, copper, magnesium, phosphorous, calcium, iron).

An ideal general-purpose oil used to repair sun-damaged skin, as a moisturiser, anti-ageing oil, radiant skin tone, skin conditions, gum health and for skin, hair and head massage.
