ingredient change?

I swear this used to just contain sesame oil and not canola/sunflower oils, or I don't think I would have purchased in the first place. I love love this condiment, and that it's trying to be healthy....would love a sesame oil only recipe!

Hi Leanne,

Sorry for surprising you and thank you for using our products. OKAZU has contained both sesame oil and sunflower oil for about eight years now. Early on we experimented with different oils, but it was never made with just sesame oil.

Not many people outside the food industry know this, but most of the world's sunflower oil is produced in the Ukraine and Russia. As you can imagine, the ongoing war has affected global supply. We needed to consider our ability to source our ingredients and so printed our labels as you now see them just in case we needed to make a change to the recipe.

Fortunately, we found a local sunflower oil producer and we were able to maintain our prices as well. OKAZU does not contain canola oil (which we still feel is a great option btw), but in the case of potentially having to switch from sunflower oil in future, we decided to keep it on the package.

So to be clear, you didn't eat any canola oil with our product and the recipe has not changed in any way. OKAZU contains sunflower oil, only now it is Canadian-made rather than Ukrainian.
As a small business, we sometimes need to be flexible regarding the ingredients we might need to use and we have printed our labels as we have as a safeguard for the future.

A must-have in the kitchen

It really is THAT good. Even when you're uninspired about what to cook, just add a few spoonfuls of the chili miso to almost anything (veggies, tofu, eggs, etc. etc.) and suddenly it's a savory meal. Somebody will inevitably comment "that smells great!" while it's cooking, it's instantly appetite-inducing! I now buy it in bulk!

I use it on everything I cook from chicken to fish and prawns eggs, and as a delicious salad dressing combined with mayo and balsamic vinegar.
