Chamgoeul 100% Pure Sesame Cooking Oil 1.8L

Chamgireum (참기름), or Korean sesame oil, is a fundamental ingredient in Korean cuisine, prized for its deep, nutty aroma and rich flavour. This oil is made from 100% carefully selected and roasted sesame seeds, giving it a distinctive dark amber colour and a more intense profile than untoasted sesame oils. Its primary role is as a finishing oil, drizzled over dishes just before serving to add a fragrant, savoury dimension. It is essential for making the dipping sauce for Korean BBQ, seasoning vegetables for bibimbap, or adding depth to soups and stews. For best results, add it at the end of the cooking process, as its delicate flavour can be diminished by high heat. This large 1.8L bottle is a staple for any home cook looking to authentically replicate the taste of Korean food, from simple side dishes (banchan) to elaborate main courses. Contains SESAME.
