Product Description

Staff CommentsThis roasted rapeseed oil from Chongqing brings a unique and authentic flavor to dishes, with a toasty aroma that adds depth to any recipe. Made from non-GMO seeds and expeller pressed, it retains its natural color and taste, making it a standout choice for those looking to elevate their cooking with traditional Sichuan flavor.

Roasted Rapeseed Oil (Caiziyou) is a Mala Market Exclusive with a production date stamped on the bottle for authenticity. The oil has a natural dark-amber color and a unique, vegetal smell, making it a staple in Sichuan cuisine. Made from low-erucic-acid, non-GMO seeds and expeller pressed, this oil retains its natural color, fragrance, and taste.

Chefs in Sichuan recommend heating the oil to its smoke point before making chili oil to tame its stronger notes. It is known for its adhesive quality, clinging to food effectively and delivering flavor. When stir-frying, using caiziyou or a mix of caiziyou and rendered pork lard provides a flavorful base without the need for pre-cooking.

Imported from China by COFCO, one of the largest producers of roasted rapeseed oils, this 900 ml bottle is a must-have for authentic Sichuan dishes.
