When it comes to choosing biond refined sunflower oil, you have two main options – high oleic and regular (linoleic).


Here’s what you need to know!

 High oleic oil:

  • Rich in oleic acid (omega-9), good for the heart

  • High smoke point (220–230°C) – ideal for frying and baking

  • More resistant to oxidation

  • Neutral taste – suitable for all dishes

 Linoleic sunflower oil:

  • Rich in linoleic acid (omega-6), essential for the body

  • Lower smoke point (160–180°C) – better for salads and dressings, but also suitable for cooking

  • Prone to oxidation

  • Neutral taste - an excellent choice for cold dishes and light cooking applications


The choice is yours! If you cook at high temperatures or want a longer-lasting product, go for high-oleic oil. For salads and dressings, regular oil works great too!
