About Refined sesame oil

Refined sesame oil is an edible oil made from sesame seed and processed to remove much of the colour, aroma, and flavour associated with less-refined sesame oil. It is generally clear, pale yellow, and fluid at room temperature, with a mild taste and relatively neutral aroma.

It is used for cooking, frying, and as an ingredient in prepared foods. It should not be confused with toasted or unrefined sesame oil, which is darker and has a much stronger roasted flavour; products can also vary by processing and by whether they are blended.
