Cold Pressed Sesame Oil
Cold Pressed Sesame Oil is extracted from Sesame seeds by Cold Press Method, which is a process of extracting oil from oil seeds in a traditional way at room temperature. Also it is processed without adding any chemicals or preservatives. Cold Pressed Sesame oil is unbleached and unrefined which has aroma of Sesame seeds.
Cold pressed sesame oil is always recommended over RBD oil. RBD stands for Refined, Bleached, and Deodorized. If an oil is RBD processed, it removes and destroys all the healthy nutrients of the oil. Cold Pressed Sesame oil is not undergone for any such processes and so it gives the higher nutrient content and healthier as it is in natural form.
Cold Pressed Sesame oil has mild Sesame smell and taste. If not, it means that they have been highly refined. If they have no flavor or has high aroma they are essentially RBD oil, even if they did come from fresh Sesame.
Some Sesame oils have a very strong flavor or Sesame smell. This usually indicates a poor quality oil because the smell and taste comes mainly from contaminates and not Sesame. Beware of oils that do not taste and smell like fresh Sesame.
