-
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.
