SESAME OIL (Sesamum indicum)

Premium cold-pressed sesame oil (Sesamum indicum) derived from carefully selected sesame seeds. Available in two varieties: Light Sesame Oil (pressed from raw seeds, pale yellow, mild flavor) and Toasted Sesame Oil (pressed from roasted seeds, amber color, intense nutty aroma). This ancient oil has been used for over 3,000 years and is a prized ingredient in Nigerian and international cuisines. Rich in antioxidants and lignans, it adds distinctive flavor to salads, marinades, stir-fries, and traditional dishes.

Storage Instructions

 

Temperature: Store in a cool, dark place at 15-20°C (59-68°F); ideal range is 14-18°C

 

Container: Dark glass bottles or tin containers are optimal; avoid clear plastic or reactive metals

 

Light: Protect from all light sources—light is the primary cause of oxidation and quality degradation

 

Air Exposure: Seal container immediately after use; transfer large quantities into smaller bottles to minimize air contact

 

Refrigeration: Not recommended for regular storage—oil may solidify or become cloudy but returns to normal at room temperature; however, refrigeration can extend shelf life for long-term storage

 

Shelf Life: 12-18 months unopened; 3-6 months after opening for toasted variety, 6-12 months for light variety

 

Signs of Spoilage: Bitter, off-putting odor; rancid taste; or significant darkening—discard if present
