I bought a can of sesame oil sometime ago, and will probably discard it as I
didn't put a label on the can of the date I opened it.

I cannot find anything online that states how long sesame oil will last
except that it doesn't go rancid easily. I cannot find a www. for Assai
company to write them as to what their number on the top of the can "05077K"
represents, as there is no "use by" or Manufacturing date.

I realize that the next can I buy should be in a store where Koreans shop
for their sesame oil in order to assure myself the possibility of getting a
'fresh' can; but this still doesn't give me a 'use by' date, nor a "use so
many months after opening."
I don't keep it refrigerated, of course.

Thanks for any comments.

You might try burning it in an oil lamp and see if it burns with a
toasted sesame aroma. That's if you like a toasted sesame aroma.
