Is this black sesame oil suitable for high-heat cooking or frying?

Planeta Zdorovia Black Sesame Oil is an unrefined, cold-pressed product, which means it retains the natural character of the sesame seeds, including its deep, nutty aroma and specific fatty acid composition. Because it is unrefined, it is not designed to withstand the high temperatures required for deep frying or searing. High heat can degrade the unsaturated fatty acids, such as Omega-6 linoleic acid and Omega-9 oleic acid, and may produce unwanted flavors or smoke.

Instead, this oil is intended to be used as a finishing oil. It adds warmth, depth, and a roasted sesame note to dishes after they have been cooked. It is particularly effective when drizzled over steamed vegetables, grain bowls, noodles, soups, salads, and marinades. It also complements rice dishes, fish, and meat when added at the table. Using it in modest portions allows you to enjoy its pronounced taste and nutritional value without overpowering the other ingredients in your meal.
