Sesame Shrimp Lettuce Wraps #EmileNoel #Giveaway

October 19, 2014 by jessfuel 18 Comments

Sesame Shrimp Lettuce Wraps

As Non-GMO Month continues, I’ve got another great product to share with you. I had the opportunity to try one of Emile Noël’s organic artisan oils, and now one of you will too!

In 1974, Emile Noël was the first oil mill in France to use seeds from certified organic farms. Today, they have expanded to the US and produce only organic vegetable, nut and seed oils. In 2011, they added the Non-GMO Project’s Product Verification seal to their products.

Emile Noël makes a wide variety of organic, fair-trade, non-GMO oils including olive oil, sesame oil, sunflower, pumpkin seed, hazelnut, walnut, macadamia nut, and sweet almond oils.

I got to try Emile Noel’s virgin sesame oil.

Sesame Shrimp Lettuce Wraps

The first thing I noticed about this oil is that it didn’t smell as potent as the sesame oils I have used before. Well it turns out this is un-toasted sesame oil, which I didn’t realize existed! It has a much, much milder flavor, which I love because it’s so much more versatile. I thought this oil would be great in an Asian-flavored salad dressing. I decided to make some lettuce wraps and whipped up a sesame dressing for them!

The lettuce wraps came out great and I loved the subtle yet bright sesame flavor from the oil. I also feel great about using a product that’s farmed without chemical fertilizers, synthetic pesticides or GMOs. I will definitely be on the lookout for some of Emile Noel’s other flavors– especially macadamia oil and hazelnut oil, neither of which I have ever had!
