High Oleic vs. Linoleic Cold Pressed Sunflower Oil – What Are the Differences?
For those wondering what to choose between the two types of cold pressed oil, here is a brief explanation!
High-oleic cold pressed oil:
Rich in omega-9 (oleic acid) – good for the heart and helps reduce bad cholesterol
More resistant to oxidation
Suitable for both cold dishes with a light and pleasant sunflower scent
Linoleic cold pressed oil:
Rich in omega-6 (linoleic acid) – essential for the body
Tendency to oxidize
Ideal for cold dishes such as salads and dressings
Which one to choose?
If you're looking for a more stable oil, go for high-oleic. For flavorful salads and cold recipes, linoleic is a great choice!
