[SAJO] Korean Food Perilla oil / (10.8 fl oz / 320ml)

I use to buy this locally but can't find it anymore. I was so happy to find it here on Amazon. I use this to replace sesame oil in recipes. I get horrible acid reflux from the sesame oil but not from this. And it tastes exactly the same to me.

Being of Korean heritage, I find that I consistently need sesame oil and perilla oil. This was my initial experience purchasing a food item from Amazon, and I am quite pleased with it! The taste was exactly as I anticipated!

Great nutty taste with health benefits. Can use in salads, cooking or just taking a straight shot

Perilla Oil, where have you been my whole life?????? WOW! To be clear, this is my first time trying Perilla Oil, so please take that into consideration. I have no other experience to compare it to. The reason I purchased it is for the health benefits. I've been looking for an healthy organic oil with a relatively high omega 3 to 6 ratio and high enough smoke point to saute with, and there aren't many options. I'm trying the ones I can find...but since health is my primary focus, I'm seeking an organic oil, which this product isn't, thus loses a star. Also, it preferably will be packed completely plastic-free and this gets another strike because the lid is plastic, but since the bottle is a high quality strong dark glass, at least I know now that the product is in my home, I can minimize the food's exposure to the plastic. So...again, my primary goal here was finding a genuinely healthy oil, and if I find a similar one in a similar package that IS organic, this one will immediately be dropped from my shopping list, but until a better one comes along, I'm as satisfied as I could be and the taste is absolutely wonderful! I used it to make a tofu veggie saute and it was spectacular, leaving me with the genuine impression of "where have you been my whole life?" I love, love, love asian food, but it is just so hard to prepare at home and never comes out remotely close to what I'm able to find at good asian restaurants, but this formerly missing ingredient may have just changed that. I really hope they'll ditch the plastic lid and replace with a good quality metal lid and offer an organic option, but for now this is a really great start. This was such an unexpected pleasant surprise. I've only used it once and was SO impressed, I knew I was going to have to go out of my way and write a review on it. Unless you can find an organic version (please come back here and mention if you do for others desperately seeking safe and healthy food items, along with the name, where to buy it, etc.), this will be the next best thing, and again... at least the majority of the packaging is a strong, quality glass. Absolutely fit the bill and I can't wait to cook with it again!

Awesome possum. Good product.

Was a bit surprised to see a large sticker on the back noting an expiry less than 3 months out

Not as expected. It doesn't smell anything. Not sure if it was in the warehouse for too long.

Looooove this oil!!! This is the perfect stand in for fish sauce(especially for fish allergy)in your cooking/recipes-just keep in mind a little goes a long way!! It provides a great umami flavor. Very versatile to use in various ways. Great quality for the price!! Have bought this regularly-always keeping 1 to spare so I never run out!!
