STORAGE TIP: PLEASE READ

Please store our perilla and sesame oils in a cool, dry place at room temperature (15-25°C) — no need to place in refrigerator

Do not store oil in refrigerator!

High-quality seed oils are sensitive to changes in temperature, moisture, sunlight, and pressure.

Placing the oil in and out of the refrigerator can cause rapid temperature fluctuations, which may lead to potential spoilage.

Simply store the oil at room temperature - in a dry, cool place

Bangyudang - Korean Authentic Roastery

We placed great emphasis on perfecting the traditional Korean 'roasted 고소산' flavor for authentic Korean cooking

Korea-Grown Seeds. Precise Roasting. Traditional Flavor.

Point 1: Far Infrared Roasting

We've integrated our 50+ years of roasting experience with modern technology.

Infrared roasting heats the seeds faster, more uniformly, and at relatively lower temperatures compared to conventional hot air/flame roasters.

It also preserves the natural nutrition and antioxidants in the seeds.

Point 2: Aroma Loss Prevention System

After the infrared roasting process, the seeds undergo a rapid cooling process.

This preserves the nutritional and flavorful integrity of the seeds - minimizing loss of nutrients and taste compounds.

Point 3: Low-Temperature Oil Screw System

Extensive research has revealed that the key health ingredients in the seeds are found abundant in the cell walls.

Therefore, instead of pressing the raw materials with pressure, a system has been developed to finely break down the cellulose in the cell walls for oil extraction. 

This allows for the extraction of the active ingredients within the fibers.

In short, the oil retains the original nutrition of the seeds.

Point 4: Anti-Oxidation Refinement System

To ensure the oil tastes its finest upon receipt, we have minimized its contact with air throughout the production process.

Furthermore, clear oil is produced through the use of extremely fine 'labratory-grade' filters

Also, to maintain product freshness, we operate a system where the 6-layer filters are replaced every 3 hours.

Please give the bottle a good shake before pouring - helps to improve taste!
