Explore the exclusive Roasted Rapeseed Oil (Caiziyou) from Mala Market, a staple in Sichuan cuisine. This oil is made from roasted oil seeds, offering a unique, dark-amber color and a distinct vegetal aroma that enhances a variety of dishes.

Caiziyou, meaning vegetable oil in Sichuan, is traditionally made from rapeseed, known as you cai in Mandarin. Our Caiziyou is made from low-erucic-acid, non-GMO seeds, expeller-pressed for maximum flavor retention. Unlike neutral oils, this oil is roasted to accentuate its flavor profile, making it a favorite among chefs.

Ideal for making chili oil, Caiziyou's high viscosity allows it to cling to food, delivering flavor effectively. For stir-frying, use Caiziyou or a combination of Caiziyou and rendered pork lard to create a flavorful base.

Imported from China, this Caiziyou is produced by COFCO, a leading producer of rapeseed oils. Note that the packaging is primarily in Chinese, but our website serves as a usage guide. Store this oil in a cool, dark place for optimal freshness.
