High oleic oil is a new-generation, non-GM oil that is entirely natural, non-hydrogenated, and cholesterol-free. It is a form of sunflower oil that has been horticulturally-bred to produce an oil richer in monounsaturated fats (the good kind) than even extra virgin olive oil. High oleic oil is ideal for frying, baking, and cold preparations.
FlavOil’s High Oleic Cooking Oil is refined from the highest-quality natural high oleic seeds. It is durable, and resists heavy usage, lasting in the high heat of the professional kitchen. It also reduces waste and downtime and is being rapidly adopted by professional chefs and QSR operators as a more economical choice in the long term, despite its premium price.
The high oleic oil improves the quality of the end product, provides a fine crisp finish to fried foods with no leftover taste or smell, and increases their shelf life.
FlavOil’s High Oleic Cooking Oil is 100% sustainable, entirely plant-based and can reduce waste considerably or eliminate it altogether.
