Cocavo stocks 2 different types of sesame oil.
Depending on how sesame oil is prepared, its nutrient composition and even smoke point degree may change. Some of the most commonly used forms of sesame oil include:
-
Toasted sesame oil: Made from toasted sesame seeds, this sesame oil has a stronger, nuttier taste due to the toasting of seeds before being pressed into oil. Toasted sesame oil will also have a lower smoke point than other forms and is often used for drizzling on dishes.
-
Cold-pressed sesame oil: The oil is extracted from the sesame seeds at room temperature, without using heat or preservatives. Toasted and cold-pressed sesame oils are unrefined and therefore considered beneficial in Ayurveda because they contain the maximum nutrition value.
