Special sesame seeds can be harvested in Shan State, but at the same time, it is also a province where fighting between the military and ethnic minorities is intensifying. It is noted that the area under poppy cultivation has increased by 20%. Thinking that the number of farmers in need will not increase any more, and wanting to deliver our thoughts to everyone, we are particular about special sesame grains from Shan State. ●EXTRA VIRGIN SESAME OIL There are various types of black sesame products, such as iri sesame, ground sesame, and sesame confectionery, but you don't often see black sesame oil. Black sesame, which has a limited number of production countries, has a higher market value and a higher price, so few companies bother to make it oil. About 80% of the black sesame products sold in Japan actually use black sesame seeds from Myanmar. In order to expand the possibilities of Myanmar sesame seeds, we pressed black sesame seeds unroasted only once. Compared to regular extra virgin (white sesame), black sesame extra virgin is more refreshing. It is also used as a carrier oil for massage and cosmetic materials. [What is extra virgin sesame oil?] It is a pure sesame oil made by squeezing "unroasted" white sesame seeds at low pressure. In the general extraction method, more than 5 times the pressure is applied, and the frictional heat is generated, resulting in charring and darkening of the color. Low pressure is a very time-consuming manufacturing method, but since the pressure is very low, there is almost no frictional heat. It can preserve more of the original flavor and nutrients of sesame seeds. It has a nutty sweetness and is popular in salads, egg-covered rice, pasta, and baguettes. It can also be used for cooking in general, but it is recommended to eat it "raw" without heating. It is an indispensable oil for raw food. ※Difference from thick white sesame oil※ It's the same thing when you're squeezing unroasted white sesame seeds. But White sesame oil is bleached (decolorized and deodorized) after ⇒ pressing, so it has no color or smell, and you can hardly feel the flavor of sesame seeds. Sesame oil unique to Japan. EXTRA VIRGIN SESAME OIL is a 100% pure oil that is still pressed. The original color, smell, taste, and nutrients of pressed white sesame seeds are firmly preserved. It is an oil that is especially preferred by those who usually use salad oil and olive oil. Of course, there are individual differences, but it has been well received by customers because it is smoother than salad oil and olive oil.
