Bangyudang – Goh Soh Artisan: the Korean roasted aroma

Bangyudang is an important partner for Korea Store. They were the very first supplier with whom I shared a true tasting experience, one morning in March 2023, in their cafe-boutique in southern Seoul.

That moment of exchange over oils—and their misugaru at the time—remains a very significant memory for me. I was treated to a complete discovery of their culinary world, particularly with sesame oil poured over yogurt ice cream—a great moment! Later, we had lunch together, and I saw firsthand the richness their excellent oils brought to the simplest Korean dishes.

Reinvented Expertise

Bangyudang was born from the expertise and dedication of the founder's parents, who ran a traditional oil mill in Korea.

At that time, women from the village would bring their sesame or perilla seeds, wait for the oil to flow, and share warm moments surrounded by that familiar scent.

Today, Bangyudang doesn't just replicate: the brand structures, refines, and innovates, integrating modern techniques while respecting the essence of Korean roasting.

For me, Bangyudang embodies this intimate link between tradition and modernity.

Unique Technology to Capture Toasted Aroma

BGST – Bangyudang Goh-Soh Technology

The exclusive BGST technology developed by Bangyudang is based on a far-infrared roasting process, combined with rapid cooling. This precision system preserves the aromatic intensity of the seeds without ever denaturing them, while finely controlling each nuance of flavor revealed during cooking. Thanks to this advanced thermal control, oxidation is also greatly reduced, guaranteeing a more stable, purer, and richer oil in beneficial compounds.

BGSQ – Aromatic Classification

Bangyudang has developed a unique sensory classification called BGSQ, which distinguishes oils according to four roasting levels, from the mildest to the most intense. This hierarchy allows every cook—amateur or professional—to choose the oil that perfectly matches their culinary style: a delicate touch for a salad, or a powerful aroma to enhance a bold dish.
