Sesame oil
Sesame oil is pressed from sesame seeds, available in a light, mild version suited to general cooking and a darker, toasted version with a much stronger, nutty aroma used mainly as a finishing oil. The toasted variety is added at the end of cooking or drizzled over finished dishes, since heat can diminish its distinctive flavour. It is a foundational flavouring in East and Southeast Asian cooking.
