Cold-pressed sesame seed oil, also known as pure or unrefined sesame oil, is an edible oil extracted from sesame seeds using a mechanical, non-heat method known as cold pressing. This process involves pressing the sesame seeds to extract the oil without the use of high temperatures or chemicals, which helps preserve the oil’s natural flavor, aroma, and nutritional properties. Culinary Uses:

Cooking: Cold-pressed sesame seed oil is used in various cooking methods, including stir-frying, sautéing, and deep-frying, particularly in Asian cuisine. It can withstand high heat and imparts a nutty flavor to dishes.
Seasoning: It is commonly used as a seasoning or finishing oil, drizzled over cooked dishes or added to dressings and sauces for flavor enhancement.
Marinades: Sesame oil is used in marinades for meats, poultry, and seafood.
