asian sesame oil
Sesame oil is a staple, and can be used as both a cooking oil and seasonings. Toasted sesame oil has a stronger flavour, so it is more suited to dipping sauces, marinades and seasoning, while the more neutral-tasting, non-toasted sesame oil may be used more like canola or vegetable oil.
Want to create unbeatable dipping sauces or salad dressings? Combine your sesame oil with one of our premium soy sauces for a simple yet mouthwatering combo.
soybean oil for cooking
Also among our range, you’ll find soybean oil. This has a high smoke point, which makes it a great option for roasting, baking and frying. It has a neutral taste, so is more useful for changing the quality of the food rather than the flavour.
canola oil
Canola oil, also known as rapeseed oil in the UK, is also ideal for a range of dishes and cooking techniques thanks to its neutral taste and high smoke point. It is great for sauteing, stir-frying, grilling and baking.
