Sunflower Oil

Product description

Sunflower oil is extracted from the seeds of the sunflower which grows in various -warmer- climates across most continents. After crushing, the supply of the crude oil we use in our production, including high oleic oil, mainly originates from Ukraine, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, France, and Argentina.

Both classic and high oleic sunflower oils consist of long chains of unsaturated fatty acids. Linoleic fatty acid (C 18:1) is the main content at 55% in the classic oil. The high oleic variant (C 18:1) is much higher at 80%.
