"Luoguozi" Sesame Oil

"Luoguozi" Sesame Oil

　　In the 34th year of the Guangxu reign during the Qing Dynasty (1908 AD), Tian Laoxing founded the Luoguo Oil Mill in Panggezhuang, Leting, and began producing and selling sesame oil. The sesame oil was made from premium ingredients, crafted using meticulous techniques, and boasted a pure, fragrant aroma, earning high praise from local residents. It remained a bestseller for nearly 60 years, through the late Qing Dynasty, the Republican era, and the early years of the People's Republic of China. In 1967, it ceased operations due to the Cultural Revolution. In 1981, Tian Wuqiu, the third-generation successor of the Luoguo Oil Mill, revived the family business. He officially registered the sesame oil under the brand name "Luoguozi" Sesame Oil.

　　　　The raw materials for Luoguozi Sesame Oil are sourced from naturally grown, high-quality sesame seeds produced in the Northeast during the same year. The production process combines traditional stone-grinding and water extraction methods with modern technology, refined through 12 unique procedures. No chemical solvents are added to the product, effectively preserving the nutritional content of the sesame. With its richly colored, mellow, and long-lasting fragrance, it has received widespread acclaim from consumers. It has been honored with titles such as "Sixth and Eighth Hebei Provincial Consumer Trusted Products," "Famous and High-Quality Product at the First Tangshan Agricultural Products Exhibition and Trade Fair," "Golden Tripod Award for Coastal Cuisine Snacks in Eastern Hebei," and "Gold Award at the 2010 China Special Agricultural Products Expo." It serves as an irreplaceable condiment for cold dishes, hot stir-fries, and delicious home-cooked meals, and has also become an excellent choice for nutritious, health-promoting gifts for family and friends. In 2011, the traditional production technique of Luoguozi Sesame Oil was recognized as an intangible cultural heritage of Tangshan City, with Tian Wuqiu himself being named its inheritor.

　　　　The Luoguo Sesame Oil Mill in Panggezhuang, Leting County, currently employs over 30 staff and occupies a site area of 3,000 square meters, making it the largest specialized producer of sesame oil and sesame paste in Tangshan City. It is also the only sesame oil manufacturer in the city with a production license. Guided by the business philosophy of "quality first, integrity as the foundation," the company upholds traditional production processes while continuously refining its techniques. It maintains strict quality control, earning an outstanding reputation among similar products. As a result, it has become the most widely sold, best-performing, and highest-volume sesame oil producer in Tangshan’s industry, and is the first to have obtained ISO9001-2000 quality management system certification.
