Sometimes you are given something expensive and have no idea what to do with it. If it is food, it often just sits there until it is out of date.

Rice, oil and salt, on the other hand, are things people actually use. This natural shallot oil is the fresh oil separated out from red shallots and non-GMO canola oil. Unlike oils you would rather not think about, it has no antioxidants added and is left in its natural state; once it settles it is as clear as water, with a shallot aroma that is entirely its own.


Ordinary salad oil tastes of very little. Use this for a fried egg, a scallion pancake, a stir-fry or a bowl of noodles, and the difference is obvious.
