Best Oil for Frying

What is 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 the oil withstands 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 is unrefined and significantly healthier than processed vegetable oils or highly refined cooking oils, including those made from peanuts and soybeans.

Additionally, the healthiest frying oils are rich in monounsaturated fats and low in 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.

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