- zactato 3y agoSesame oil is the worst. It has a shelf-life of a week or two.
- adasdasdas 3y agoWhat kind of sesame oil are you getting...
- CreepGin 3y agoI think unopened sesame oil can have years of shelf-life. I certainly never had a problem with the smell and we use sesame oil quite a bit in our household.
- etrautmann 3y agoSame for me - I’m quite sensitive to rancid oil and have never experienced an issue with any brand of sesame oil kept unrefrigerated for a long period of time.
- tomjakubowski 3y agoI've been using the same bottle of toasted sesame oil for at least two years now with no ill effects
- chriskanan 3y agoRefrigerate it and the shelf life after opening increases greatly.
- specialist 3y agoI now taste test most everything. One challenge is not knowing how something should taste. I once got harvest fresh olive oil (as a gift). Wow! Total game changer. ~TLDR~ FYI: The good stuff should make you cough a little bit after you swallow it.
- reciprocity 3y agoThree sentences with a "tl;dr" at the end?
- samtho 3y agoAttentions spans are getting very… wait what was I doing?
- amenhotep 3y agoAlso the tldr is new information not a summary of or even present in the ostensibly too long text!
- SkyPuncher 3y agoI don’t think that’s uncommon.
- mkoubaa 3y agoIf you're in the US, I recommend the terra delyssa brand for olive oil (many grocery stores carry it)
- colechristensen 3y agoI’d rather recommended only buying bottles of olive oil with printed harvest dates on the bottle within the last year. It’s absurd that stores are selling two year old oil. There’s a real problem with grocery stores having too many options for a single product and then most of the product on the shelves is unacceptably old. See also: coffee. We could have better food with fewer preservatives and less processing if the supply chain would pay attention to this problem.
- etrautmann 3y agoIt’s absurd that most coffee, even high end beans, is sold with only a use by date (often a year or more after roasting).
- plorkyeran 3y agoIf you buy directly from a roaster they'll always tell you the roasting date, but most supermarkets actively forbid them from putting that on the bags sold there.
- mgarfias 3y agoI solve for this by roasting my own
- bjoli 3y agoRapeseed oil is what I use. It can be kept in the fridge, and from what I manage to read online there are no real benefits of olive oil over it except maybe taste and vitamin e content, and people claiming otherwise seem to never really be able to back up their claims. It works just as well except when you want the taste of olive oil. I find it superior when I stir fry things since the smoke point is higher.
