Cold-pressed to capture the pure taste of sesame [Queens Bucket] Korean Sesame Oil

Sesame oil, a magical drop, boasts a savory aroma that doubles the flavor of any dish. However, its strong personality makes it difficult to pair with various dishes like Western oils. The sesame oil made by Queens Bucket is a little different from the sesame oil you're familiar with, from its subtle aroma to its clear, brilliant yellow color. This is because it is made with a patented technology* developed over a year, based on the belief that oil, like coffee or wine, changes in taste and aroma depending on the raw ingredients and roasting method. By roasting the sesame at low temperatures and then cold-pressing it, the original flavor of the sesame, often hidden by the strong aroma, is fully preserved. It will remind you of old-fashioned sesame oil, roasted in an iron pot and ground with a millstone.

About Brand

Queens Bucket has applied and popularized the concept of 'cold pressing' to sesame oil and perilla oil, much like olive oil. By adding a more delicate flavor profile to the sesame oil and perilla oil market, which was once dominated by a simple savory taste, it is loved both domestically and internationally. As a result of their efforts to promote the value of sesame oil and perilla oil at home and abroad, Queens Bucket's products have garnered attention, being featured in Bloomberg, an American economic magazine.

Q. I'm curious about the background that led you to enter the world of sesame oil and perilla oil.
When I was wondering what to do after retirement, I became interested in essential oils. Among them, sesame oil and perilla oil caught my eye. I was disappointed and curious that despite the different makers and ingredients, the oils always had a similar taste. So, I started studying sesame oil and perilla oil. I decided to aim for premium oils that go beyond the usual taste and incorporated the method of extracting essential oils into the production of sesame oil and perilla oil.

Q. How is it different when extracted like an essential oil?
Above all, it's different nutritionally. The biggest characteristic of vegetable fats is that, in addition to the fatty acids in the seeds, various compounds are dissolved in them. These elements are easily lost when heated, but extraction like essential oils can minimize that loss. We know that extra virgin olive oil is better because it is cold-pressed without heating. It's the same principle.

Q. What kind of sesame oil/perilla oil do you want to introduce in the future?
Ultimately, I want to create a gourmet environment where people can choose oils according to their preferences. In fine dining, raw sesame oil and perilla oil, cold-pressed from raw sesame, are already used like olive oil. I want this method of use to become more widespread. To do that, I need to introduce a variety of sesame oils and perilla oils so that people can delicately appreciate and utilize the taste of fats.

Pure sesame flavor from cold pressing [Kuen's Bucket] Korean Sesame Oil

A drop of magic, sesame oil boasts a savory aroma that enhances the flavor of dishes, but its strong character makes it less versatile for pairing with various dishes compared to Western oils. The sesame oil made by Kuen's Bucket is a little different from the familiar sesame oil, from its subtle aroma to its clear, radiant yellow color. This is because it's made with a patented technology* developed over a year of research, based on the belief that oils, like coffee or wine, vary in taste and aroma depending on the raw ingredients and roasting method. By roasting the sesame seeds at a low temperature and extracting the oil using a cold-pressing method, the authentic flavor of sesame, often overshadowed by strong aromas, is fully preserved. It will remind you of the taste of old-fashioned sesame oil, made by roasting in a cast iron pot and grinding with a millstone.
