Sunflower seed oil

Sunflower oil from Switzerland: native and flavorful

This sunflower oil is the secret flavor hero of our range, thanks to its surprising, intense sunflower seed aroma. This is because we grow the seeds for our sunflower oil in Switzerland and then cold-press them into oil – this not only has a positive effect on the valuable nutrients, but also on the flavor.

From the field to the bottle
After harvesting, the sunflower seeds are processed using the cold-pressing process in our factory in Zurich. This means our sunflower oil is produced at temperatures below 34 degrees Celsius, preserving as much of its valuable components and nutrients as possible. Did you know that half a liter of oil requires the seeds of approximately 25 flower heads? We firmly believe that you can taste the Swiss production and cold-pressing process in our sunflower oil.

Valuable ingredients
Among vegetable oils, sunflower oil leads the pack in terms of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Almost 65 percent are polyunsaturated fatty acids, with linoleic acid—an omega-6 fatty acid—making up the largest proportion. Replacing saturated fatty acids with unsaturated fatty acids in the diet contributes to maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.

Sunflower oil in the kitchen

Sunflower oil is one of the most popular cooking oils and can be found in almost every kitchen. This is because it usually has a particularly mild flavor and offers little spice. Our oil is a little different, as it truly still tastes of the sunflower seeds from which it is made. This makes it a great match for salads, vegetables, soups, and dips. To preserve its healthy ingredients, this virgin oil should not be heated. Are you looking for a Swiss-made sunflower oil for frying and baking? Then check out our high-oleic frying oil.
