How to choose
Choose refined sunflower oil for high-heat cooking. Look for 'first cold-pressed' or 'extra virgin' sunflower oil for salads and dressings to retain more nutrients and flavor. Check for a clear, bright color and a neutral smell. Avoid oils in cloudy or dark containers.
How to store
Store in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the bottle tightly closed to prevent oxidation and rancidity. Optimal storage temperature is between 10-25°C. Do not store near strong-smelling foods as oil can absorb odors. Shelf life is typically 6-12 months after opening, but check for any off-smell or taste before use.
