⚫ Cold-Pressed Black Sesame Oil - Wooden Expeller (≤50°C)

Dark, aromatic, cold-pressed Organic Black Sesame Oil (Til Oil) 🌱, made from pure, unhulled black sesame seeds grown organically in Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan 🌾. Extracted on a traditional wooden press at 50°C 🪵🔥, this oil preserves its natural antioxidants, minerals, and earthy flavor.

Recognized in Ayurveda as the “Queen of Oils” 👑, black sesame oil is prized for its warming properties, rich antioxidant profile, and its role in nourishing skin, hair, and overall vitality 🌸. Its bold, nutty flavor makes it perfect for pickles, marinades, deep cooking, and traditional recipes 🍛.

Why our discerning customers love this oil

• Certified organic black sesame seeds (Sri Ganganagar) → meticulously hand-harvested, hand-cleaned and cold-pressed.
• Pressed on a wooden expeller at ≤50°C to preserve native lignans and antioxidants that give black sesame oil its characteristic depth.
• Unrefined, single-origin & small-batch: robust aroma, dramatic color.
• Small-batch, uncolored & unrefined: no solvents, no deodorization, no coloring.
• Bold, gourmet flavor for finishing plates & craft desserts.
• Higher phenolic / lignan profile prized by culinary artisans and those seeking nutrient-dense oils.

Process & sensory profile

We press whole, jet-black seeds to yield a deep, aromatic oil. Unlike toasted sesame oil (made from roasted seeds), our cold-pressed black sesame oil retains raw-seed nutrients and a bold, earthy-nutty flavour suited to both culinary finishing and traditional wellness uses. Studies indicate darker varieties often carry higher levels of specific lignans and phenolic antioxidants.

Taste & Culinary Uses

• Flavor: Robust, earthy, slightly smoky-nutty (raw black seed notes).
• Best uses: Finishing oil for soups, noodle bowls, roasted vegetables; black-sesame pastes, desserts, dressings, and in traditional tonics. Use as a finishing or low-heat ingredient - intensifies flavour without the bitter notes that come from burning. (Note: toasted sesame oil - produced from roasted seeds - is typically used as a finishing oil; untoasted raw sesame oil has a higher smoke point for cooking.)

Nutrition & Oil Chemistry

• Fatty-acid profile: similar base profile to white sesame oil (oleic & linoleic dominant). Black sesame oils often show higher relative concentrations of certain lignans/phenolics (sesamin / sesamolin derivatives) that support oxidative stability and antioxidant activity.

Quick snapshot (per 100 mL oil)
