Our sesame seeds are grown in the famous Yecheon County (North Gyeongsang)

Yecheon County (예천군) is a renowned region for its production of high-quality sesame seeds in Korea

The region has well-drained and aerated soil and receives abundant sunshine, which allows sesame plants to thrive

Yecheon County has become one of the main production regions of domestic sesame oil

Worry-Free Oil, Benzopyrene-Free!

When seeds are toasted at high temperatures (or for too long), a harmful substance called benzopyrene can be released

That's why we roast at a low temperature. Additionally, we send sample batches for testing each month!

Certified lab results indicate NO Benzoyprene or other harmful substances in our sesame seeds

Our facilities are HAACP-Certified - commited to food safety and meet regulatory requirements
