Our unrefined process helps retain its natural vitamins and delicate flavor.

It is the mildest of the oils we press, which makes it the usual choice for people who want an unrefined oil without a strong flavour of its own. Golden rather than water-clear, because it has not been bleached.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"blk\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow we make it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleaned, dehulled sunflower seed is pressed cold at low speed so the barrel stays cool, then rested and cloth-filtered. Sunflower oil is high in polyunsaturated fat, which is exactly why the unrefined version needs to be treated as a fresh product — those fats are the first to oxidise when an oil is kept too long or heated too hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"blk\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat goes in, what stays out\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne ingredient: sunflower seed.

Refined oils have silicone-based additives that stop this; unrefined oil does not, so it froths, particularly in humid weather. It is a sign of what is absent.
