Sesame Oil

Sesame Oil – Cold-Pressed & Refined Grades for Culinary and Industrial Applications

Product Overview

Sesame Oil is a naturally aromatic fixed oil obtained from the seeds of the sesame plant (Sesamum indicum). Rich in sesamol, sesamin, and vitamin E, it is one of the most stable vegetable oils, prized for its distinctive flavor and excellent oxidative resistance. Widely used in Asian and Mediterranean cuisines, it also serves as a valuable base oil in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and nutraceuticals.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply Cold-Pressed and Refined Sesame Oil produced under ISO 22000 Food Safety Management standards. Our cold-pressed oil preserves the nutty aroma and nutrient profile of sesame seeds, while refined grades offer a neutral flavor suitable for industrial frying and blending. Each batch is laboratory-tested for purity and stability, ensuring international export-grade quality.
