 Great Oil, Poor PackagingJul 04, 2007
By Renaissance Man
Wonderful oil. Some supermarket brands have a burnt smell/taste; not so with this one. La Tourangelle has everything you like about sesame oil with nothing you don't.
Amazon's packaging of this oil is the worst of any item I've ever ordered in the last five years. I ordered 3 cans of sesame oil and 4 cans of grapeseed oil, and they were all in a box loose with 4 air packages which didn't nearly fill up the box. All cans arrived dented.
The oil is great, the prices are good, and if you don't mind dented cans, go ahead and buy it. If you do not like deliberately mis-packaged items and dented cans, fughedaboudit.
This would have been rated 5 stars were it not for the dented cans.

Great Oil, Great Price, but Amazon needs to learn how to package it!!!Sep 09, 2007
By Debs
This is really a delicious oil in the Asian toasted sesame oil vein. Very flavorful and the price is really outstanding if you use a lot of it and can stand having to buy 3 at a time. HOWEVER, Amazon needs to learn how to package these things. They just threw 3 loose cans in a box and sent it to me! Needless to say the cans are EXTREMELY dented!!! Minimally, they should have put tape around the 3 cans to hold them together (and keep them from bashing into each other). They would have probably still been dented, but most of the damage came from them crashing into each other in shipment. Ideally, they could tape them together and roll them in bubble wrap, but that may be too much to ask. When I was a kid, we used to get 50% off of dented cans at the grocery store - how about it Amazon?

 All Japanese Sesame Oil is NOT the same!Jun 19, 2008
By Honest Reviewer
"James A. Dobson"
I tried this for the first time because my favorite sesame oil (Kadoya) wasn't available. I figured all Japanese sesame oils are more or less the same. I was dead wrong.
What a disappointment! This oil is either watered-down or not processed properly. I will never order it again, unless there is a world wide shortage of sesame oil.
Stick with Kadoya 56 oz if you can get it. It is rich in flavor and the real thing.

 excellent with fishJul 03, 2006

This is a great oil and works well with asian-style cuisine. It's an excellent addition in a marinade with worchestershire(sp?), maple syrup, chiles and seseme seeds.

Instant Gourmet! Wonderful Oil - Fantastic flavor, health benefits galore!Apr 25, 2010
By javajunki

Become an instant gourmet with these delightful oils! Okay, perhaps you won't be an overnight sensation but your culinary experiments are sure to take a step in the right direction thanks to these fantastic oils by La Tourangelle.
Proper oils are essential for flavor, health and proper food preparation technique but our local grocery stores leaves a lot to be desired in terms of selection. Finding a half decent olive oil was a chore so you can imagine the difficulty associated with more obscure oils.
After reading the health benefits associated with Grape seed oil, I first ordered a three pack of that as well as the sesame. Both quickly became household favorites. The sesame has a slight sweet hint that my spouse finds perfect for apparently everything. He now uses it exclusively for organic popcorn (odd but it really tastes terrific) to salads and homemade bread. It's light with a slight sweetness. Absolutely delicious at a very competitive price. Wonderful addition to a kitchen searching for something other than olive oil.
We've also tried the Grape, Sesame, Walnut and Almond...to date, have been very pleased with all of them. Wonderful selection.
