This has become one of my favorite I gredients to formulate with! The oil is lite and similar to jojoba with regenerative properties. I use it alone or with silk amino acids and a few other ingredients for my small business geared toward those who suffer from health issues from inflammation and auto immune diseases. I would love to tour the site some day if it's allowed. This has truly changed my skin for the better! Oh, and it's great to cook with as well. Very little smoke and a clean taste! I love it.

Re: Sunflower. I'm very happy with this brand of oil. No taste. Nice and clean. One large can, used for light frying and browning, lasted us a long time. The can is a bonus. It makes a big difference with oil, as no light gets to it. It's better than bottles. The snap-top pours well compared to other types of oil containers, so not much dripping at all. I found a cute little vintage glass sunflower dish/ashtray for it to set in. I did not try it for deep-frying or baking. But it's surely fine for baking, as it's neutral. And it never smoked while light-frying or browning, so I don't see why deep-frying at the suggested temps should be a problem. Read more
Good quality product. First purchased last year, 2 repeat orders since, it's now a staple in our kitchen. Over all, very happy with La Tourangelle Grapeseed oil. What I wanted. A healthy oil for high temperature cooking and oiling cast iron pans. This oil meets all 3 requirements. Other positives. We try to keep the amount of oil we use to a minimum and I'm really pleased with how little Grapeseed oil we need to use to get the results we want. Most of our pans are cast iron, except the wok, and they get seriously hot, and this oil can handle that, no smoke and burnt oil. It also works very well for oiling and maintaining our cast iron pans without smoking when you heat the pans again. Extra bonus, the oil is made using discarded seeds from winemaking, I love it, making something from what would have been waste. Read more
I like it. I have tried more expensive olive oils too, like ones from Italy etc. These items are well worth their price because it is a culture's pride and glory. A taste journey. Read more
The container this comes in completely blocks out light, which is a good thing for edible oils because they are degraded by light exposure. The best-by date is October 4, 2026. I ordered it in January 2025. So I had between twenty and twenty-one months from the time I received it to the best-by date. The flavor is extremely neutral. The country of origin is Austria for the one I received, but apparently the company sources it from other countries as well, so you may or may not get an Austrian version. There is additional information on the can that can be seen in the photographs attached to this review. For those who have doubts about canola oil, I can recommend Dr Brad Stanfield and Dr Gil Carvalho on the subject. Both of them have reviewed the literature and give a scientific assessment that is much more scientifically sound than most of what can be found on the internet. I highly recommend their videos on canola oil, and on seed oils in general. From what I have seen, canola oil is equal or superior to olive oil in healthfulness. Drs Carvalho and Stanfield present and evaluate the studies. Canola oil is pressed from the seeds of a plant that is in the same family as broccoli, cabbage, kale, and mustard greens, which are among the healthiest foods you can eat. I feel pretty good about high quality canola oils, and this product seems to be one of them. I almost gave it five stars, and there's nothing wrong with it; it's just that it's hard to rave about something so straightforward and plain. My guess is that this is about as good as any canola oil you can buy, but I'm not 100% sure that there is nothing better. There may not be, but I can't say for certain. I'm very tempted to give it five stars. Read more
