Organic Sunflower oil High-oleic and its use in the food industry

The food industry benefits from the mild taste of organic sunflower oil and uses it, for example, for producing mayonnaise, remoulade, or margarine. It is also suitable as salad oil, for baking, and marinating.

Since only certain naturally bred sunflower varieties with a very high content of monounsaturated oleic acid are used to produce Organic Sunflower oil High-oleic , it is more heat-stable than in its original linoleic acid-rich (= linoleic) form. Therefore, our Organic Sunflower oil High-oleic is ideal for frying and deep-frying. Refining the oil enhances this property even further.

If you prefer sunflower oil with a higher linoleic acid content, we will gladly supply natural or refined organic sunflower oil Linoleic.
