WHY CHOOSE ICCHA COLD PRESSED SESAME OIL?

Sesame oil is valued not only as a cooking medium but also for its distinctive culinary character. Research reviews describe sesame oil as a source of unsaturated fatty acids and naturally occurring bioactive compounds including lignans and tocopherols.

The cold-pressed positioning makes it particularly suitable for consumers seeking a more traditional style of sesame oil rather than a highly neutral cooking-oil profile.

For Indian kitchens, sesame oil can bring a recognizable depth to traditional recipes while working across different cooking applications.

USAGE SUGGESTIONS:

For Tempering / Tadka
Use sesame oil with mustard seeds, curry leaves, dried chillies and spices to create aromatic tempering.

For Sautéing
Use for vegetables and traditional Indian preparations over controlled heat.

For Rice Dishes
Excellent for traditional sesame-oil-based rice preparations and regional recipes.

For Pickles & Marinades
Use as part of homemade pickle preparations, marinades and flavourful accompaniments.

For Chutneys & Finishing
A small drizzle can add characteristic sesame aroma and flavour to finished dishes.

Cooking note: Cold-pressed sesame oil should not automatically be treated as equivalent to refined sesame oil for very high-heat cooking. The appropriate cooking temperature depends on the specific product and its formulation.
