Organic cold-pressed sunflower oil is a pure and unrefined oil with a mild, nutty aroma. It is one of the best healthy options for cooking and deep frying.
How can I use it?
Cold-pressed sunflower oil is a versatile ingredient with a delicate flavour, making it a true pantry essential. It has been recognised by the Great Taste Awards as one of the best in its category.
- Thanks to its high smoke point, it is an excellent alternative to olive oil for cooking at high-temperatures.
- You can use it for grilling and deep frying, making it perfect for chips or roast potatoes.
- Its delightful aroma enhances salad dressings, and you can also combine it with raw honey and gourmet truffle mustard to create a fine-dining marinade that is great for chicken.
Pure sunflower oil is safe for dogs to eat in moderation, providing healthy fats that can promote a stronger, shinier coat. It can also be added to horse feed for extra calories and an energy boost.
Health Benefits
- Organic sunflower oil is naturally rich in antioxidants, vitamin E, and beta-carotene, all of which can help protect your skin from premature aging.
- It is free from cholesterol and an excellent source of unsaturated fats. Regular consumption of this oil may improve cardiovascular health, alleviate arthritis symptoms, and lower levels of HDL, known as bad cholesterol.
- When applied externally, it can help reduce dryness and cracking of the skin, while providing hydration for dull, frizzy hair, making it softer and giving it a lovely sheen.
- Unrefined sunflower oil is a great substitute for highly processed vegetable oils that often contain inflammatory ingredients like canola and soybeans.
How is it made?
The finest, locally sourced, and certified organic raw sunflower seeds are carefully selected and gently cold-pressed to ensure they retain their natural goodness. An innovative and environmentally friendly ‘zero waste’ technology is used to produce this silky-smooth oil, which also results in a creamy sunflower seed butter and milled sunflower flour.
The oil is packaged in a recyclable glass bottle.
Award Winner
It received 2 stars at the 2019 and 2020 Great Taste Awards.
Comments from the Great Taste Judges:
"Pleasantly coloured oil, golden and inviting. The flavour develops into a fresh nuttiness, and we warm to it as it lingers on the palate - there is a very appealing seed character. It has toasty notes, even though the seeds are pressed raw. The length is worth a mention - it carried on delivering after the initial character was tasted. We would happily use this on its own as a finishing oil, not just mixed into dressings. Really delicious and a great example."
