Best Oil for Frying

What are the best oil for frying?

Choosing the right oil for frying is crucial for achieving crispy, golden results while maintaining your health.

The best frying oils have high smoke points—typically above 200°C (over 400°F)—which makes them stable at high temperatures. This stability ensures that the oil can withstand the intense heat of frying without breaking down, preserving its natural flavour and nutritional value.

Grapeseed oil has one of the highest smoke points, which combined with its neutral taste, makes it an ideal choice for deep frying chips.

What makes a healthy frying oil?

Our selection of cold-pressed oils from nuts and seeds are unrefined, and they are significantly healthier than processed vegetable oils or highly refined cooking oils, which can contain a variety of inflammatory ingredients, such as peanuts and soybeans.

Additionally, the healthiest frying oils are rich in monounsaturated fats and have low levels of polyunsaturated fats, as the latter are more prone to oxidation when heated. Monounsaturated fats, found in high-oleic cold-pressed sunflower oil, remain stable during cooking and support heart health.

Due to minimal processing, our organic oils retain naturally occurring antioxidants like vitamin E and beneficial polyphenols.

Whether you're pan-frying, sautéing, or deep-frying, you'll find the best oils specifically suited for cooking delicious and healthy meals.
