FlavOil High Oleic Sunflower Oil 850ml - Healthy High-Performance Plant-Based Oil for Cooking, Roasting, Frying, Baking, Dressing - Omega 9 and Vitamins - Sustainable High Oleic Sunflower Seeds

When looking into OLEIC sunflower oil I discovered a lot of positive reasons to use it. Oleic means very high in mono-unsaturated fats (that is fats that are actually good for us). I also discovered that there have been studies that have shown including a high level of mono-unsaturated fats in our diet can reduce the number of LDL bad cholesterol and increase the number of HDL good cholesterol - a great discovery given I was recently told by my GP that my cholesterol is high!I was still concerned about the price but when I also found out that this type of oil not only has a longer shelf life but also a longer cooking life - meaning you do not have to throw it out or change your oil as often as it doesn't break down anywhere as quickly as regular oil, not only making it safer to use but also saving on how regular you need to buy more.With all this is mind, I was excited to give it a try...What better way to jump in but to try deep fried fish and chips. I haven't done any deep fat frying for years and bought a deep fat frying pan, and even a digital food thermometer (so I could get the oil to the right 160° temperature) just I could get it right and my review wouldn't be based on poor cooking technique!The result. The batter on the fish was wonderfully crispy and although retained some oil upon removing from the pan when sat on kitchen roll and then plated did not look or taste greasy. The same was for the chips which left very little oil residue on the kitchen roll and were nicely crisp. Myself and my mum both agreed that our fish and chips was great as it reminded us of going to the chippy but wasn't greasy and had a fresh crisp flavour. The kitchen didn't stink of hot fat either!Conclusion. I never thought it would ever be possible to have a fry-up and for it to be good for you. Turns out I was wrong.Do your own research into OLEIC high mono-unsaturates and come back and buy this stuff!I'm planning on a second purchase so I have some for using in the wok and frying pan...

Good

Good value. This oil has a high smoke point of 230C / 520 F which is great for frying. The smoke point is not quite as high as refined avocado oil, but it's good enough for most cooking methods and significantly cheaper than avocado oil. I've had mine for deveral months and is just under half full now. Will definitely buy again when it is finished

I had to look up exactly what the benefits of High Oleic sunflower oil were and apparently " High oleic oil is high in unsaturated fat, low in saturated fat, and has no trans fat. The large amount of monounsaturated fat in high oleic oil has been shown to lower LDL cholesterol (the bad kind) without lowering HDL cholesterol (the good kind). When LDL cholesterol goes down, so do the risks of heart disease, heart attacks, and stroke." As someone who has been told to cut down on cholesterol (I didnt know there was good and bad kinds!) then this has to be worth a try.It is nice and smooth and tasteless so it does not spoil the food. No oily smell when cooking which is a bonus too.It isnt cheap but then good quality oil isnt. If you are looking for oil with these heath benefits then this is well worth a go.

Amazing value for money. Perfect for cooking and have also sprayed lightly on salads as very light dressing with lemon and herbs. Would suggest investing in an oil dispenser bottle, as this is HUGE!

I was really surprised by this oil. I was looking forward to the comfort of knowing I was using something so healthy for cooking from now on, but I was expecting there to be a trade-off in the form of the usual smell and taste of sunflower oil that makes everything smell of chip shops when you cook with it. I was so surprised though when I opened the bottle; no odour, it's almost scent-free! Better yet, I've tried cooking with it in various ways and it's not affected the taste of anything at all! I still can't quite believe that it's as healthy and as versatile as it is, which I suppose just goes to show that you get what you pay for.If you want an oil that will never spoil your recipes, or just want to make sure you're using the healthiest oil you can buy then this is it. And if you really enjoy cooking and baking you should definitely have this oil in your cupboard.

I’m a young cook who is just learning the trade, my goal is to use fresh and healthy ingredients and experiment in the kitchen, one of main ingredients being the oil. I did a lot of research and to my surprise came across High Oleic Sunflower Oil, it’s not an ordinary sunflower I’m used to, chemical structure is completely different, high in monounsaturated fats, over 80% - BRILLIANT ever higher than olive oil IMAGINE THAT & low in saturated- GREAT! I’ve cooked and fried for several days and I’m delighted with its quality:it almost has no smell, it’s tasteless and it doesn’t burn - that’s 5 star for me, as I would like to taste my seafood, meat or other ingredients I’m cooking and definitely not the oil. I’ve used it for my Greek salad as cold preparation - what can I say, very pleased. Will definitely buy this FLAVOIL brand.. btw - I liked the bottle too, easy to hold and pour out.

Great oil, tastes nice, healthy.But I have an issue with the price! I bought this here on Amazon March last year and paid £14.99 for 5 litres. Now it’s £29.99?100% price increase in 9 months??? Really?

Questa nuova generazione di oli è molto valida, soprattutto per chi ha intolleranze alle olive. Ottimo prodotto dalle ottime proprietà.

J'étais sceptique à l achat mais au final j en suis contente une huile neutre, de bonne qualité. Rien à re dire. Je la recommande les yeux fermés. Livraison très rapide malgré le corona.

Ottimo, le patatine fritte, sono risultate croccanti e per nulla oleose, l’olio non ha coperto il sapore delle patatine. Non ho dato 5 stelle solo per ilPrezzo un pochino eccessivo

cette huile a un gout trés agréable,sa texture est parfaite,seul bémol,son prix un peu élevé
