Production

From seed to press,
not a single step is left to others

100% Korean perilla & sesame, grown in Jinju at the foot of Mt. Jiri — then flown in, chilled, roasted, pressed and bottled by our own hands in New Jersey.

01

Grown

Pesticide-free, GAP-certified seeds from young Korean farmers in Jinju.

02

Chilled

Cold-stored the moment they land — oxidation never gets to start.

03

Washed 5×

Washed five times, then dried 15 hours under moisture control.

04

Low-Temp Roast

Slow-roasted at low heat. Zero benzo[a]pyrene detected.

05

Cold Press

Pressed by pressure, not heat — aroma and nutrients stay intact.

06

Same-Day Ship

Bottled the moment it's pressed, dispatched the same day.

Olim is the first US importer of fresh Korean sesame and perilla seeds, pressed directly on American soil.
