Roasted Almond Oil

I recently purchased this toasted sesame oil, and it has quickly become a staple in my kitchen! The aroma is rich and nutty, and it adds an incredible depth of flavor to everything from stir-fries to salads. One of my favorite ways to use it is for a super quick dressing: just mix 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey, and a pinch of chili flakes—and voilà! You have a delicious, restaurant-quality dressing in under a minute. It’s versatile, flavorful, and a little goes a long way. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to elevate everyday meals without fuss! The smell and flavor is very different from olive oil, so it gives you e perception of completely different dressing if you substitute your regular olive oil with this one sometimes. Toasted sesame oil is considered healthy for several reasons, especially when used in moderation as a flavor enhancer rather than a cooking staple: 1. Rich in Healthy Fats: • It contains mostly unsaturated fats, particularly polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which are good for heart health. • These fats can help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and support healthy cholesterol levels. 2. Packed with Antioxidants: • Sesame oil contains sesamol and sesamin, natural antioxidants that help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. • Antioxidants may reduce inflammation and support overall health. 3. Supports Heart Health: • Studies suggest sesame oil may improve blood pressure and arterial function, thanks to its healthy fat profile and antioxidant content. 4. Contains Vitamins and Minerals: • Small amounts of vitamin E, vitamin K, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc are present, contributing to overall nutrition. 5. May Help Control Blood Sugar: • Some research indicates sesame oil can help regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity when incorporated into a balanced diet. 6. Lightly Processed (if toasted): • Toasted sesame oil is usually minimally processed, so it retains more nutrients and antioxidants compared to heavily refined oils.

I picked up this roasted peanut oil mainly for an Asian style kale salad we make at home, and it has been great for that. The flavor is warm and nutty without being heavy, and it mixes really well with rice vinegar, soy sauce, or anything with a little sweetness. A small amount goes a long way, so the bottle lasts longer than I expected. The texture is smooth and the smell is exactly what you want from a roasted peanut oil. It adds depth without taking over the entire dish. I have also tried it in a quick stir fry and it handled medium to higher heat without burning. There is nothing complicated about it. It is a clean tasting oil with a strong enough peanut note to make a simple salad dressing taste better. Bottom line: Excellent roasted peanut flavor and perfect for salads, dressings, and quick cooking. It has become a regular pantry item for us.

This oil is high quality! It has a wonderful sesame oil smell and taste. Not burnt like some that are overly processed. I like that it's organic. The container size is perfect, it's well sealed, and pours easily. I ordered it to make a black sesame seed spread, but can't wait to try it in cooking!

I use peanut oil to cook Chinese-style food. I would NOT call myself a true Chinese cook. I always prefer to cook in peanut oil. I have learned that ROASTED peanut oil is superior. And a peanut oil that SMELLS like peanuts is the best. La Tourangelle Roasted Peanut Oil is DELICIOUS and worth every penny, and buying it in this container takes a pricy base product and makes it economical. Literally the ONLY problem with this is that the packaging kinda sucks. When I got this box - having used the tins before - I opened the little cardboard opening and ... no spout. Rummaged all around carefully so as not to break the plastic. No spout. Finally I had to open up the box at the top and pull the whole damn thing out and there it was: at completely the WRONG side of the box. Useless. And heavy as heck. I managed to get the bag back into the box facing the right way ... and then pulled the spout out of the opening. Only it was utterly twisted and could not be used!! I trued to turn it gently, but nope. So I came here and read the visual instructions and I was right how it SHOULD work ... so I grabbed the black part of the spout took a breath and TWISTED HARDER. CAREFULLY. And it turned! I then wrangled it back in neatly and closed the cardboard, then pulling off the part of the red bit MEANT to be pulled off, pressed the THREE red bits to be pressed and a nice smooth stream of oil came out! Yumm!. But the box is now a mess and you HAVE to keep it in the box to use it. GRRRRR. So BE AWARE if you run into an absentee spout problem of what to do. The BEST oil; the WORST box!!!

Its very good, great flavor and high quality

Good value and a must have for some chinese cooking and many other types as well.

My current favorite sesame oil; it’s not a blend, always arrives fresh, the aroma is toasty, nutty, and clean. Packaged VERY well - I never have to worry about the tin popping open during transit. Living at 6500’, that’s something you need to pay attention to. I’ve never had any leakage in storage, either. Great for both cooking and dressing cold dishes, it’s a household staple in our kitchen. I’ve ordered and used this brand’s avocado oil, and been equally satisfied.

Very intense sesame flavor. The bottle is easy to use. Will purchase again.

product NOT as advertised. Listed as 6 x 500ml ( $13.07/L) for around $40 but what you receive is 1 x 500ml total, can came in dented (see picture) Country of origin stated as Japan, Mexico when in fact product is stamped at the bottom as Product of Taiwan. DO NOT BUY

Nice pouring can

Wonderful for stir fry and salads

The oil doesn't have a strong toasted flavor... it's not much different than a regular sesame oil.
