This is really a delicious oil in the Asian toasted sesame oil vein. Very flavorful and the price is really outstanding if you use a lot of it and can stand having to buy 3 at a time. HOWEVER, Amazon needs to learn how to package these things. They just threw 3 loose cans in a box and sent it to me! Needless to say the cans are EXTREMELY dented!!! Minimally, they should have put tape around the 3 cans to hold them together (and keep them from bashing into each other). They would have probably still been dented, but most of the damage came from them crashing into each other in shipment. Ideally, they could tape them together and roll them in bubble wrap, but that may be too much to ask. When I was a kid, we used to get 50% off of dented cans at the grocery store - how about it Amazon?

Wonderful oil. Some supermarket brands have a burnt smell/taste; not so with this one. La Tourangelle has everything you like about sesame oil with nothing you don't.
Amazon's packaging of this oil is the worst of any item I've ever ordered in the last five years. I ordered 3 cans of sesame oil and 4 cans of grapeseed oil, and they were all in a box loose with 4 air packages which didn't nearly fill up the box. All cans arrived dented.
The oil is great, the prices are good, and if you don't mind dented cans, go ahead and buy it. If you do not like deliberately mis-packaged items and dented cans, fughedaboudit.
This would have been rated 5 stars were it not for the dented cans.

I tried this for the first time because my favorite sesame oil (Kadoya) wasn't available. I figured all Japanese sesame oils are more or less the same. I was dead wrong.
What a disappointment! This oil is either watered-down or not processed properly. I will never order it again, unless there is a world wide shortage of sesame oil.
Stick with Kadoya 56 oz if you can get it. It is rich in flavor and the real thing.
