Customer Questions

Can I use this sesame oil for frying and high-heat cooking?

This cold-pressed sesame oil is not the best choice for high-heat frying or prolonged cooking at high temperatures. While sesame oil is more stable than many other unrefined oils thanks to its natural lignans and tocopherols, cold-pressed versions retain delicate aromatic compounds and heat-sensitive nutrients that break down when exposed to high heat. Frying can also produce an overly intense or slightly bitter flavour that masks the oil's natural nutty character.Instead, this oil works beautifully as a finishing touch: drizzle it over salads, hummus, grain bowls, steamed vegetables, noodles or cottage cheese just before serving. You can also add it to warm dishes at the very end of cooking, once the pan is off the heat, to preserve its aroma and nutritional profile. For high-heat cooking methods like stir-frying or deep-frying, choose a more heat-resistant fat such as refined coconut oil or ghee, and save this organic sesame oil for cold preparations where its unique flavour and beneficial compounds shine.

How does cold-pressed sesame oil differ from the dark toasted sesame oil used in Asian cooking?

Cold-pressed sesame oil and toasted sesame oil are made from the same seeds but serve very different purposes in the kitchen. This ORGANIC ALTAY oil is cold-pressed from raw sesame seeds without any heat treatment during extraction, resulting in a light amber colour, a mild nutty aroma and a smooth, delicate flavour. It is versatile enough to use as a base oil in dressings, drizzled over vegetables, or mixed into grain dishes and dips.Toasted (or roasted) sesame oil, common in Chinese, Korean and Japanese cooking, is made by pressing sesame seeds that have been roasted first. This gives it a deep brown colour and an intensely nutty, almost smoky aroma. Because the flavour is so strong, toasted sesame oil is typically used in very small amounts — a few drops to finish a stir-fry, soup or sauce — rather than as a cooking or salad oil. It is more of a seasoning than a cooking fat.In short: if you want a subtle, everyday oil for drizzling and light culinary use, cold-pressed is the choice. If you need that signature intense aroma for Asian dishes, you would reach for a separate bottle of toasted sesame oil. They complement each other but are not interchangeable.

I have a sesame allergy — is there any chance this oil is safe for me?

If you have a confirmed sesame allergy, this product is not safe for you. Sesame oil is pressed directly from sesame seeds and contains the proteins and other compounds responsible for allergic reactions. Even cold-pressed, unrefined oils retain allergenic components — refining does not remove them reliably enough to be considered safe.Sesame is recognized as one of the major food allergens in the EU and many other regions, and reactions can range from mild oral itching to severe anaphylaxis in sensitive individuals. Cross-reactivity with other seeds or nuts is also possible in some people. If you have experienced any allergic symptoms after consuming sesame in the past — such as hives, swelling, breathing difficulties or digestive distress — you should avoid all sesame products, including oil, tahini, seeds and foods containing sesame ingredients.There are no processing methods that make sesame oil hypoallergenic. If you are looking for an alternative oil with a mild nutty character, consider sunflower, almond (if tree nuts are tolerated) or avocado oil, but always check labels and consult your allergist before introducing a new oil into your diet.

How should I store this oil and how long does it keep once opened?

Cold-pressed sesame oil should be kept in a cool, dark place — a kitchen cupboard away from the stove or a pantry shelf works well. Always close the cap tightly after each use to minimize contact with air, which accelerates oxidation. Avoid storing the bottle near heat sources, in direct sunlight or in warm, humid spots, as these conditions shorten the oil's shelf life and can cause off-flavours to develop.One of sesame oil's advantages is its natural stability: the lignans (sesamin and sesamolin) and tocopherols present in the oil act as built-in antioxidants, so unrefined sesame oil resists rancidity better than many other cold-pressed oils such as flax or walnut. Once opened, it typically stays fresh for several months if stored correctly — check the label for the producer's recommended use-by period after opening, usually around 3–6 months.You will know the oil has gone off if it develops a sharp, unpleasant smell or a bitter, stale taste. If that happens, discard it. Refrigeration is not necessary and can cause the oil to thicken or become cloudy (it will clear again at room temperature), but some people choose to refrigerate opened bottles in hot climates to extend freshness further.

What it is

ORGANIC ALTAY Sesame Oil is a cold-pressed culinary oil made from sesame seeds grown and harvested in the ecologically clean Altai region. Unlike refined sesame oils, this version keeps the natural amber colour, the soft nutty aroma and the full spectrum of substances that the seed offers — because no heat or chemical solvents are used during pressing.

Sesame seeds are one of the oldest cultivated oilseeds in the world, used in Indian, Middle Eastern and East Asian kitchens for thousands of years. In Ayurvedic tradition sesame oil has long been considered a "warming" oil, valued both as food and as a base for body massage. The Altay version follows the same simple principle: pressed gently, filtered, bottled — nothing added, nothing removed.

What is interesting about the composition

Sesame oil is naturally rich in unsaturated fatty acids — mainly oleic (omega-9) and linoleic (omega-6) — together making up around 80% of the fat profile. It also contains:

Lignans — characteristic compounds such as sesamin and sesamolin
Vitamin E — in the form of tocopherols
Phytosterols

These compounds give the oil its remarkable stability: sesame oil resists oxidation noticeably better than many other unrefined oils, so it keeps its taste longer on the shelf.

How to use it in the kitchen

The light, unroasted cold-pressed oil has a mild flavour and works best as a finishing touch — drizzled over:

salads, hummus and grain bowls
steamed vegetables and noodles
cottage cheese

It pairs beautifully with greens, carrots, beetroot, lemon, garlic and tahini-based dressings. For gentle warm dishes it can be added at the end of cooking; for high-heat frying it is better to choose a more heat-resistant fat and keep this oil for cold preparations, where its aroma and nutrients are preserved.

Who might enjoy it

People who like to vary the fats in their menu beyond olive and sunflower
Fans of Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine
Anyone looking for an organic, unrefined oil with a clear origin

A tablespoon a day in food is a pleasant way to add plant-based fatty acids and lignans to a balanced diet.

Important notes

Allergen: sesame is a common allergen, so people sensitive to sesame seeds should avoid this product.
Storage: keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark place and use within the period indicated on the label.

Please note: this is a food product, not a medicine, and it does not replace a varied diet.
