High Omega-3, Untoasted Perilla Oil

[Happy Jeong-Eun's] Fresh-Pressed Untoasted Perilla Oil

  • 100% Korea-grown perilla
  • Never toasted
  • High Omega-3 (ALA)
  • 1 ingredient

Looking for the purest expression of Korean perilla oil? This is it.

Produced by Happy Jeong-Eun's, a family-run farm nestled at the foot of Korea's beautiful Jirisan Mountain, Happy Jeong-Eun's untoasted perilla oil (행복한 정은씨의 햇생들기름) is crafted from 100% Korea-grown perilla seeds sourced from local farmers, never imported.

Unlike most perilla oils, the seeds are gently dried using minimal heat rather than roasted, then low-temperature pressed to preserve their naturally high Omega-3 content, delicate aroma and nutrients. The result is a beautifully balanced oil with a light, clean taste, a subtle nutty aroma, and a smooth finish that won't overpower your food.

Jirisan Chereum produces several styles of perilla oil, each with a different flavor depending on how long the seeds are roasted. As roasting increases, the oil becomes darker, richer and nuttier, but prolonged roasting also reduces some of the seed's naturally occurring nutrients. Because this oil is unroasted, it keeps the highest concentration of Omega-3 (ALA) naturally found in the perilla seed: a great choice if you want its nutritional benefits with a clean, delicate flavor.

Perilla oil is one of nature's richest plant-based sources of Omega-3 (ALA), with more Omega-3 than mackerel and more than any other commonly eaten plant-based oil. It's a simple, delicious way to add more plant-based Omega-3 to your daily diet.

Compared to toasted perilla oil, this one is much lighter in taste and aroma. Drizzle it over fresh salads, mix it into yogurt, pour it over warm, freshly cooked rice, or simply take it by the spoonful as part of your daily routine.

Unlike mass-produced oils that sit on warehouse shelves, Jirisan Chereum never presses large batches in advance. They press only enough seeds to meet each day's orders, so every bottle reaches you at peak freshness with the fullest aroma and flavor.

So what's inside?

Lovely nutty milky taste

I really like this. I was worried it might lack taste as it is un-toasted but it has a lovely distinct slightly nutty milky taste. To be honest It took me after 3rd time eating to like the taste of it as I am more used to the toasted sesame oil taste. I drizzled some to my brown basmati rice with salt. I love the taste now. I also try to put it to lukewarm food and no food that is hot as omega 3 is very fragile to heat.

Super yummy!

Dad loved it! Use it instead of flax seed oil now because it has the highest omega 3 fatty acid content of all seed/plant oils. Puree with organic avocado, organic apple cider vinegar, himalayan sea salt to taste. Is expenseive but 100% worthe the quality. I mean even if you save your money and have bad health and chronic diseases you wont be able to enjoy using those save dollars anyways because youd be too sick. So invest in your health! And enjoy your hard work :)

Jirisan Chereum's process: healthy, clean and safe

Quality assurance

Every batch undergoes regular quality testing, including screening for benzopyrene, so you can enjoy your perilla oil with confidence.

Jirisan Chereum's pesticide residue and benzopyrene test reports

Test reports shown: 320 pesticide residues not detected (the maker's sesame seeds, Dec 2022) and benzopyrene not detected, within Korean food safety standards (the maker's sesame oil, May 2025).

Happy Jeong-Eun's perilla oil, benzopyrene-free

Good enough for the ones we love most

We wouldn't settle for anything less than the very best for our own family. Our perilla oil is regularly tested to ensure no detectable benzopyrene.

What is benzopyrene? A naturally occurring compound that can form when foods are exposed to very high temperatures or smoke. In perilla oil, it can develop if the seeds are roasted too aggressively before pressing. Because it is classified as a potential carcinogen, reputable producers test for it regularly.

Happy Jeong-Eun's oils from untoasted to deep roasted

Which perilla oil should I choose?

Fresh-pressed untoasted (this one): light, clean and delicate. The seeds are gently dried using minimal heat, with no roasting, then low-temperature pressed.

Fresh-pressed toasted: a rich, naturally nutty flavor. The seeds are lightly roasted at low temperatures, then low-temperature pressed to preserve flavor and nutrients.

Rich toasted: a deep, bold roasted flavor. The seeds are roasted longer at a controlled temperature, then low-temperature pressed.

Burnt perilla oil, by contrast, tastes strong, bitter and smoky: the seeds are roasted at excessively high temperatures before pressing.

Which oil to use for which dish

Which one for which dish?

Untoasted (this one) keeps the pure, natural perilla flavor with no added heat: salads, yogurt, freshly cooked rice, or as a finishing oil.

Toasted has a balanced roasted flavor and rich, nutty aroma: bibimbap, namul (vegetable side dishes), salad dressings, dipping sauces, baby food and marinades.

Rich toasted has a deep, bold roasted flavor: bibimbap, namul, seaweed soup, meat marinades and Korean BBQ.

All Happy Jeong-Eun perilla oils are regularly tested for benzopyrene and produced in a HACCP-certified facility.

Storage guide: no light, no air, keep cool

Keep it cool, and refrigerate after opening

Keep it away from light. Direct sunlight makes the oil deteriorate and lose quality, which is why it comes in an amber bottle.

Minimize air exposure. Close the cap tightly after each use to slow oxidation, and for the best quality, finish it within 6 months of opening.

Store it cool. Low-temperature pressed oils are sensitive to heat, so refrigerate after opening to keep it fresh and flavorful. It may cloud or set in the fridge or in winter; that doesn't affect its quality.

Product FAQ

Can’t find yours? Just ask us.

Ask a Question
What's the difference between toasted and untoasted perilla oil?

Both start with washed perilla seeds and are low-temperature pressed. For the untoasted oil, the seeds are only gently dried using minimal heat, without roasting: choose it for a light perilla flavor and the most Omega-3. For the toasted oil, the seeds are lightly roasted using minimal heat for a short time: it's the one for cooking and finishing dishes.

Why does sediment form in the oil?

The oil is pressed at the lowest possible temperature, so the perilla's natural dietary fiber stays intact. Because Happy Jeong-Eun's doesn't refine, bleach or deodorize its oils, these fine particles of fiber and trace nutrients slowly settle to the bottom as a harmless sediment.

Is the sediment safe to eat?

Yes. Unlike the dark sediment found in heavily roasted oils, this pale sediment is the perilla's own fiber and trace nutrients, left in by low-temperature pressing. Just shake the bottle before use.

How long does the oil last after opening?

All oils begin to oxidize once they're exposed to air. Unopened, it keeps until the date printed on the bottle. Once opened, finish it within 6 months for the best flavor and quality.

How do I store this?

Keep it away from direct sunlight in a cool place, and refrigerate it after opening. It may cloud or solidify in the fridge or in winter; that's normal and doesn't affect its quality.
