Certified organic by Ecocert, fair trade by Max Havelaar. Vegan.

Why toast the seeds before pressing?

Toasting sesame seeds before pressing triggers the Maillard reaction between amino acids and sugars—this reaction creates hundreds of new aromatic compounds (pyrazines, furanones, sulfur compounds) that give toasted sesame oil its unique, intense, and complex flavor profile. The sesame's natural antioxidants (sesamin, sesamolin, sesamol) are also released more easily during pressing after toasting, contributing to this oil's remarkable oxidative stability. The content of antioxidant lignans (sesamin) is one of the highest among common vegetable oils.

Benefits of Bio Planète Toasted Sesame Oil

• Unique and authentic aroma: toasting the seeds before pressing creates an intense and deep aromatic profile impossible to reproduce with artificial flavoring. A few drops are enough to transform a simple dish.
• Stable natural antioxidants: sesamin and sesamolin give sesame oil high natural oxidative stability, allowing it to be stored longer than most polyunsaturated oils.
• Source of vitamin E: 3mg/100ml (25% of NRV) — contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
• Organic and fair trade: certified AB by Ecocert and fair trade by Max Havelaar — guaranteed traceability and social commitment.

How to use Toasted Sesame Oil?

For finishing only — do not use for high-temperature cooking (smoke point lowered by toasting). A few drops on a finished stir-fry, a bowl of ramen, an Asian salad, or in a marinade are enough to add the characteristic aroma. In a vinaigrette: mix with soy sauce, ginger, and lime juice. Store away from light and heat. 250ml bottle.
