Description
Refined Canola Oil
Refined canola oil is the product of a precise and thorough refining process. The oil undergoes treatments such as degumming, neutralizing, decolorizing, and deodorizing to remove impurities and enhance the oil’s shelf life and stability. It retains a neutral taste and is perfect for cooking at high temperatures, making it a versatile choice for frying, grilling, and baking.

Cold-Pressed Canola Oil
Cold-pressed canola oil is extracted through a mechanical pressing method without the use of heat or chemical solvents. This method retains the natural nutrients, antioxidants, and flavors found in the canola seed. While the oil has a slightly darker color and a stronger flavor profile than refined oil, it is highly prized for its health benefits, especially in salad dressings, low-heat cooking, and gourmet applications.
