[Saebyeok Mill] 100% Cold-Pressed Raw Perilla Oil (200ml)

Pressed Cold, Never Roasted [Saebyeok Mill] 100% Cold-Pressed Raw Perilla Oil (200ml) 100% Korean perilla seeds 12°C cold-pressed No roasting 64% omega-3 (ALA) Meet 100% Cold-Pressed Raw Perilla Oil (새벽방앗간 100% 통들깨 냉압착 생들기름) from Saebyeok Mill, a small mill in Yangpyeong, the green farming county just east of Seoul. Most perilla oil in Korea is made the old way: the seeds are roasted hot, then pressed. That gives you the deep, toasty oil you might know from Korean restaurants. It's delicious, but the heat changes the oil, kills the omega-3 content and drowns out the seed itself. Saebyeok Mill goes the other way. Whole native perilla seeds, grown only in Yangpyeong and never blended with seeds from other regions, are rinsed three times in clean water and pressed cold, at just 12°C. No roasting at all (raw perilla oil). It's a slow, costly way to make oil. A cold press gives less than half the yield of a regular one. What you get in return is a clear, golden oil that tastes clean and fresh, with a soft nuttiness and a light, silky feel. It's the kind of oil you pour straight onto food rather than cook with. Drizzle it over namul, bibimbap, cold noodles, tofu or seaweed soup at the end. Try it as a dip for sashimi, or a few drops over vanilla ice cream. In Korea, plenty of people keep a bottle in the fridge and take a spoonful each morning. Others swear by a drizzle over myeongran (salted pollock roe) and hot rice. So what's inside?

Yangpyeong is a designated eco-friendly farming zone where pesticide use is kept to a minimum, and these seeds were tested with no pesticide residue detected.
