What is sesame oil and how to get it?
Sesame oil is popularly also called sesame. It is produced by thoroughly squeezing sesame seeds. The oil does not have any particular pronounced smell, so it is impossible to determine by the smell whether it was spoiled or not, a fake in front of you or not. Only a few can feel a light, delicate aroma with nutty notes that more resembles a certain skin lotion than a product used in food, for example. Anyone who has already dealt with sesame oil was surprised by its pleasant aftertaste and how dramatically the taste of the dish can change if it is filled with it.
Often, not only raw sesame seeds can be used for squeezing, but also lightly roasted. Interestingly, the color and taste of the oil depends on it. Therefore, you yourself can easily determine how to squeeze sesame oil, which you have in the kitchen. If the oil is a delicate light golden color and it is impossible to say exactly how it tastes, then this oil was obtained from raw sesame. If it has a bright, pleasant taste and a dark color, then this oil is squeezed out from toasted sesame seeds.
