What Is High Oleic Sunflower Oil?

We bring together three qualities that make our oil unique: organic production, high oleic sunflower varieties and cold pressed processing.

Our sunflower seeds are grown using organic practices and processed without chemical solvents, bleaching or deodorizing. Instead, we use mechanical expeller pressing at low temperatures to preserve the oil’s natural characteristics, including its color, aroma and flavor.

The result is a premium sunflower oil that is simple, natural and minimally processed.

Benefits of Organic High Oleic Sunflower Oil

  • Naturally Rich in Good Fats

    High oleic sunflower oil is naturally rich in monounsaturated fats and vitamin E, making it a popular choice for those looking for a wholesome alternative to traditional cooking oils.

  • High Smoke Point for Everyday Cooking

    With excellent heat stability, sunflower oil is ideal for sautéing, roasting, baking, frying and other high-temperature cooking methods.

  • Mild Flavor to Complement Recipes

    Our sunflower oil has a clean, subtle flavor that lets the natural taste of your ingredients shine. Use it in everything from homemade dressings to baked goods.

Cold Pressed & Expeller Pressed: What Does That Mean?

Many conventional cooking oils are heavily refined using heat, chemicals, bleaching or deodorizing processes. We take a different approach.

Our sunflower seeds are mechanically expeller pressed without chemical solvents. We carefully manage temperatures during processing and lightly filter the oil to maintain its natural quality.

This creates an oil that is as close to its original source as possible – with a beautiful golden color, mild sunflower smell and naturally occurring nutrients.

Cooking With Organic Sunflower Oil

Sunflower oil is a versatile pantry staple that can be used for everyday cooking.

Whether you're cooking at home or creating recipes professionally, our sunflower oil delivers consistent quality.

High Oleic Sunflower Oil vs. Other Cooking Oils

Choosing the right cooking oil depends on flavor, nutrition and how you plan to use it.

Compared to traditional cooking oils, high oleic sunflower oil offers:

  • Excellent heat stability
  • Mild, neutral flavor
  • High smoke point
  • Naturally high level of monounsaturated fats

If you’re looking for an alternative to soybean, canola or refined vegetable oils, organic high oleic sunflower oil is a great option for everyday cooking.
