Many Koreans today are discerning about sesame oil, and the first thing they check is whether it's made from sesame seeds grown in Korea.
Part of the reason is benzopyrene, a harmful compound that can form when seeds are toasted too hot or for too long. Roasting time and technique also decide how much of the seed's nutrition survives. In Korea this awareness is so widespread that domestic producers now toast at lower temperatures and guarantee their oils are benzopyrene-free.
Nongbu Chanko is a regional seed grower and oil maker run by three sisters. They grow their sesame in Yecheon County (예천군), North Gyeongsang, a region known across Korea for exceptional, nutrient-rich sesame seeds, thanks to its well-drained, airy soil and abundant sunshine. Yecheon sesame is sought after by home cooks and food businesses alike.
Now we're delighted to offer Nongbu Chanko's best-selling sesame oil (농부창고 참기름) in two roasts: Toasted Sesame Oil and Lightly Toasted Sesame Oil, each in a 180 mL or 300 mL bottle.
So what's inside?
Full Ingredients List Sesame seeds (100% Korea-grown, from Yecheon).
In the box One glass bottle, 180 mL or 300 mL, Toasted or Lightly Toasted. Made by Nongbu Chanko in Boman-myeon, Yecheon County, North Gyeongsang, South Korea.
To keep Store at room temperature, not in the fridge. Best within 24 months of the production date.
Good to know Contains sesame. In Korean recipes, toasted sesame oil is the standard choice. Lightly toasted sesame oil has a subtle nutty flavor that's barely noticeable, and keeps more of the seeds' original nutrition. A few specks of natural sesame fiber may settle at the bottom; just shake the bottle.

Very good quality. The flavor is on point, gives a great flavor! I love that it’s lightly toasted. Can definitely recommend.
Three sisters in Yecheon
This sesame oil comes from Boman-myeon, Yecheon County, North Gyeongsang. Nongbu Chanko uses only sesame seeds grown in Yecheon, never imported ones.
The three sisters behind it have since become mothers, and their mission is simple: “to create food products that we would proudly serve to our own children.”
Two roasts to choose from
Toasted Sesame Oil is strong and toasty, with a nutty aroma. It's the one for any Korean recipe.
Lightly Toasted Sesame Oil has a faint, barely noticeable nuttiness. It's toasted at a low temperature to keep more of the seed's original nutrition, and suits pan-frying: fried eggs, pan-fried tofu, stir-fried mushrooms.
Toasted: deep brown
Toasted Sesame Oil has a rich brown color.
Lightly toasted: golden
Lightly Toasted Sesame Oil has a golden color.

Grown in Yecheon County
Yecheon County (예천군) is famous in Korea for high-quality sesame seeds, sought after by home cooks and food businesses alike. Its well-drained, airy soil and abundant sunshine let sesame plants thrive, and it has become one of the main sources of Korean-made sesame oil.
Healthy plants, plenty of flowers
Healthy sesame plants grow tall, with ample leaf cover and abundant flowers.
Yecheon's renowned seeds
Taste sesame oil made with the seeds Yecheon is known for.
Pressed fresh, at low temperature
Fresh, rich and nutty, extracted with low-temperature pressing. Nongbu Chanko presses its oil on the same day it ships out.
Certified 100% Korea-grown
Certified by Korea's Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs as made exclusively from Korea-grown seeds.
Benzopyrene-free, tested every month
When seeds are toasted too hot or too long, a harmful substance called benzopyrene can form. That's why Nongbu Chanko roasts at a low temperature and sends sample batches to a lab every month, testing for benzopyrene and pesticide residues.
Certified lab results show no benzopyrene or other harmful substances in its sesame and perilla oils.
HACCP-certified since 2017
Nongbu Chanko's facilities have been HACCP-certified since 2017, committed to food safety and to meeting regulatory standards.
Two-stage bottle cleaning
Every glass bottle is sterilized with hot water first, then heat-treated and UV-sterilized.
How to enjoy it
Toasted sesame oil is the standard in Korean recipes. The lightly toasted oil is milder and works well for pan-frying. Store either one at room temperature, not in the fridge.
Fry your morning egg
Season bibimbap
Spicy squid stir-fry (ojingeo bokkeum)
Toss traditional japchae noodles
A little sediment is natural
The specks at the bottom are natural sesame plant fiber left over from pressing. Just give the bottle a shake: it's completely safe to eat, and nutritious too.
