Frequently Asked Questions

Why heat mustard oil to smoke point before cooking? Raw mustard oil’s allyl isothiocyanate creates sharp pungency. Heating to smoke point breaks down this compound, yielding a milder, more palatable cooking oil while retaining the oil’s characteristic flavor.

Is mustard oil the same as mustard seed oil? Yes — mustard oil is expressed directly from mustard seeds. It should not be confused with oil infused with mustard flavor — KTC Mustard Oil is the genuine cold-pressed seed oil.

What is the difference between the 8.5 fl oz and 4L KTC Mustard Oil? Same product, different sizes. The 8.5 fl oz is ideal for those new to mustard oil cooking or occasional use, while the 4L provides better value for regular mustard oil users.
