How to Store Sesame Oil

Storing sesame oil:

1. Cool, dark place: Store sesame oil in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. This will help preserve its flavor and quality.

2. Airtight container: Keep the sesame oil in an airtight container to prevent it from oxidizing and losing its flavor. Glass bottles are a good choice for storing sesame oil as they are non-reactive and help to preserve its flavor and quality.

3. Refrigerator: For long-term storage, you can store the sesame oil in the refrigerator. This will help to slow down the oxidation process and extend the shelf life of the oil. Just make sure to take it out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature before using it, as it will solidify in the refrigerator.

Additional tips:

- Choose high-quality sesame oil: When purchasing sesame oil, opt for cold-pressed, unrefined sesame oil for the best flavor and quality.

- Check the expiration date: Make sure to check the expiration date on the sesame oil bottle before using it.

- Use within 6-8 months:** Once opened, try to use the sesame oil within 6-8 months for the best flavor and quality.
