This premium blend combines the light, neutral taste and high-heat tolerance of refined sunflower oil (85%) with the rich flavour and nutritional benefits of extra virgin olive oil (15%). This 5-litre container is ideal for wholesale purchase, providing a versatile oil suitable for a wide range of culinary applications. The addition of extra virgin olive oil enhances the flavour profile, making it excellent for dressings and finishing, while the high percentage of sunflower oil ensures it remains a cost-effective choice for everyday cooking, including frying, baking, and sautéing.
Storage Suggestions:
Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent oxidation and maintain freshness.
Avoid storing near heat-generating appliances like ovens.
Once opened, it's best to use it within a reasonable timeframe (e.g., within a few months) for optimal quality. While refrigeration can extend shelf life, it may cause the oil to become cloudy; this is normal and the oil will clear at room temperature.
Serving Suggestions:
Everyday Cooking: Excellent for frying, sautéing, and baking due to the sunflower oil's high smoke point.
Salad Dressings: The extra virgin olive oil adds a delightful flavour, making it perfect for vinaigrettes and dressings.
Finishing Oil: Drizzle over finished dishes like pasta, vegetables, and salads to add a touch of flavour and richness from the extra virgin olive oil.
Marinades: Use as a base for marinades for meats, poultry, and vegetables.
Sauces: Incorporate into sauces for added depth of flavour. For mayonnaise, it's suggested to balance the flavour by mixing sunflower oil with more intensely flavoured oils.
