Youngja's Oil

FAQ

What makes Youngja’s sesame oil and perilla oil special?

Youngja’s oils are small-batch, golden-pressed, and made with a traditional Korean low-temperature roasting process. We never over-roast or cut corners. Our oils are pure, flavorful, and crafted to preserve nutrients and aroma — just like homemade.

Are your oils made in Korea?

Yes. All of our sesame and perilla oils are produced in Korea using time-honored methods passed down by Youngja's Kitchen, a beloved Korean home-cooking expert. Every batch is made with care and shipped fresh to the U.S.

Is your sesame oil nut-free?

Absolutely. Our sesame oil contains no peanuts or tree nuts. It’s naturally nut-free but has a deep, roasted flavor that’s often compared to peanut butter — without the allergens.

What is the shelf life of your oil and how should I store it?

For best quality, use the oil within 6 months of opening. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is not required but can help extend freshness. If stored correctly, our liquid gold can last up to 2 years.

Do you ship internationally?

Right now, we only ship within the U.S. We’re working on expanding to international markets soon — sign up for our newsletter to be the first to know when we do.

What’s your return and refund policy?

Because our products are food-grade, all sales are final. If you receive a damaged or incorrect order, please contact us within 3 days of delivery and we’ll gladly assist you.

Can I use your sesame oil and perilla oil for cooking?

Yes! Our oils are great for both cooking and finishing. Drizzle over rice, noodles, veggies, or use them in dipping sauces. Because they’re high-quality and unrefined, just a small amount adds deep flavor and a nutty aroma.

Are your oils cold-pressed?

Our oils are gently pressed using a low-temperature roasting method — not raw cold-pressed, but carefully processed to protect flavor and nutrients without overcooking the seeds.

Are your products vegan and gluten-free?

Yes. Youngja’s Oil products are 100% plant-based, vegan-friendly, and gluten-free.

Where can I buy Youngja’s Oil products?

You can order directly from our website. We offer fast shipping within the U.S. and occasionally sell through curated pop-up events and select stockists.
