Korean Perilla Oil, Lightly Roasted

[Jirisan Chereum] 100% Korean Perilla Oil (Lightly Roasted)

---

Today, we introduce one of Korea’s best-tasting perilla oils!

It’s made by Jirisan Chereum - an owner-operated farm in the pristine base of Mt. Jirisan (Korea).

This perilla oil is made with 100% Korea-grown perilla seeds (not imported from China).

Now, Jirisan Chereum offers different roasts for its sesame & perilla oils (see chart).

The longer the seeds are roasted, the darker in color and the nuttier in flavor the oil gets.

However, with increased roasting, the more of the seed’s nutrition that is lost.

This specific perilla oil is lightly-roasted.

It has a light-nutty flavor.

Importantly, it contains high amounts of the perilla seed’s natural nutrition (high omega-3 content).

(Perilla seeds naturally contain very-high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, offering anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular benefits, as well as supporting healthy immune functions.)

Where should I use this specific oil? 

This lightly-roasted oil is best for use on namul banchans, fried eggs, fried tofu, jeon, salad dressings, bibim-guksu, dried laver sheets, jook (rice porridge), baby foods.

Jirisan Chereum does not press its oils in advance.

To ensure the best flavor and maximum freshness, they press their seeds-to-order, making just enough oil to cover daily output.

If you’re interested in perilla oil for its rich Omega-3 content, this oil contains high nutritional value.

Offered in 160 & 270ml

After opening, please store this oil in the refrigerator.
