Description
High Oleic Sunflower Oil, Cold-Pressed | 500 ml
Looking for a cold-pressed high-oleic oil of 500 ml, natural and always fresh? It's cold-pressed from dehulled seeds, 100% natural and rich in vitamin E. It has 87% oleic acid (Omega 9) and 0.3% acidity. It's obtained by mechanical cold pressing; the oil leaves the press at 25–30°C (measured temperature), without solvents and without refining.
Why this cold-pressed high-oleic oil
- 87% oleic acid (Omega-9) — more stable against oxidation and heat than classic sunflower oil (~26% oleic acid).
- Natural, unaltered vitamin E — 65 mg/100 g (542% NRV). Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
- Free acidity of only 0.3% — a sign of correct pressing, from fresh seed, not old or degraded seed.
- Tested per batch, not just declared — every bottle has a batch code (BX 0410) and a verified peroxide value (6 meq O₂/kg, under the Codex limit of 15).
** Reference intake not established.
Vitamin E might help protecting cells from oxidative stress.
Main sensory profile
- Neutral-elegant — one of the cleanest, most refined tastes among sunflower oils.
- Lightly seedy / delicately toasted-nutty — subtle sunflower seed notes, without harshness.
- Fine and clean — no bitterness, no astringency, and no “husk” or waxy notes (thanks to dehulling).
- Slightly sweet / buttery — a fine, pleasant, almost creamy note, most noticeable at room temperature.
- Short-to-medium finish — the taste doesn't linger heavy or oily on the palate.
| Factor | Effect on taste |
|---|---|
| Dehulled seeds | Removes bitter, grassy and waxy notes |
| 87% oleic acid | Makes the oil milder and more stable in flavour |
| 0.3% acidity | Contributes to freshness and the absence of sharp/sour notes |
| Cold pressing | Preserves the delicate natural aromas |
Dehulling the seeds gives a fine, elegant taste, a clear golden colour and a low wax content. The result is a clean, balanced oil, notably more stable against oxidation than ordinary high-oleic sunflower sunflower oil.

How to use this cold-pressed high-oleic oil
Ideal when used raw in salads, dressings, hummus, and cold sauces. Thanks to its high oxidative stability, it is also suitable for moderate cooking, such as light sautéing, eggs, pan-fried vegetables, or pasta. To preserve its Vitamin E content and delicate flavors, use it primarily raw or at medium temperatures. If you prefer a flavored version, try our cold-pressed spiced oils based on the same oil.

Sunt foarte mulțumită de acest ulei! Se simte diferența față de uleiurile obișnuite presate la rece — are un gust fin autentic, cu o aromă subtilă plăcută de floarea-soarelui, fără miros sau gust astringent. Culoarea e frumoasă, auriu-deschis, bănuiesc din cauza acidului oleic preponderent.
