We use canola oil because it has excellent health properties and the best taste profile. We have spent over three years studying canola oil as it relates to our product. Our findings found of all vegetable oils canola has the best fatty acid profile for human consumption. It contains the lowest level of saturated fat of any oil; it is a rich source of essential fatty acids, namely Omega-3 fatty acid; monounsaturated fatty acids; and has no cholesterol.

Canola oil is a vegetable oil produced from the rapeseed. It contains monounsaturated fats which are less likely to cause heart disease.

Unfortunately, we cannot use olive oil in our dressings. When used in a vinaigrette or sauce, olive oil solidifies upon refrigeration, and the dressing is no longer pourable; when used in a creamy spoonable dressing, it alters the texture and stability of the product.

Linoleic sunflower oil is an excellent cooking oil with a neutral taste. This enhances the taste of food rather than overpowering it. Linoleic sunflower oil is high in linoleic (polyunsaturated) acid, an essential fatty acid. It is the preferred oil in most of Europe, East Europe, Russia, Mexico, countries along the Mediterranean and several South American countries. Visit our Sunflower Oil section for more information.

A State Health Department document, widely circulated by schools recommends olive oil as a 'safe and effective way to kill head lice'. It is applied generously to the hair and left on for 8 hours or overnight, on 7 days in a 21 day period. This recommendation is presumably based on its supposed effect as a suffocating agent, or as an aid to nit-combing by lubricating the hair. The Harvard School of Public Health is usually quoted as the reliable source of this recommendation.

There is a lot of confusion about canola oil's safety. While the Internet can be a great source of information, many rumors and urban legends have circulated on web sites and been passed along in e-mails. Urban legends usually warn of dire consequences from something perfectly innocent; they often relate a story about someone who had such a terrible experience with something, yet that person almost always remains anonymous.

Canola oil is one of the richest sources of heart-healthy monounsaturated fat. The #1 cause of death in the U.S. is heart disease. To reduce the risk of heart disease, the American Heart Association recommends reducing saturated fat and dietary cholesterol, and making dietary choices that lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, and increase HDL (good) cholesterol. The American Heart Association recommends including canola oil as part of a heart healthy diet.

Canola oil is safe, natural, light tasting and one of the healthiest of all oils to consume. The Del Sol Food Company uses the highest quality canola oil in our products. Canola oil is valued for its healthy fatty acid profile, being rich in monounsaturated fat and the lowest in saturated fat of any consumer vegetable oil. We have selected canola oil because it compliments so well, without overpowering, the seasonings and flavors we use in our dressings.

Soybean oil is the food industry's predominant vegetable oil, because of its favorable taste profile, food formulation flexibility and global supply, with more than 18 billion pounds consumed annually. That's why Vistive low-linolenic soybeans could establish a new standard for the performance of food-grade oils.

While both Omega-9 Oils and olive oil have zero trans fat, only Omega-9 Oils are highly stable, which allows for superior performance in demanding foodservice and food manufacturing environments. Omega-9 Oils also have a lower saturated fat content than olive oil.

This oil is obtained by blending refined olive oil and virgin olive oil. Its free acidity level must not exceed 1g per 100g. In some countries this is known as 'pure' olive oil. The European Union is looking at alternative descriptions for the oil such as 'standard' olive oil. There are no rules regarding the percentage of virgin olive oil that is added back and this can vary from very little to as much as 50%.

The olives vary by geographic region. Here are the most popular types in the different parts of the Country: Taggiasca in the north, Frantoio and Leccino in the centre - Leccino type hold up well in cold weather -, Coratina in the south, especially in Puglia and Molise, together with Ogliarola variety. Biancolilla variety is the most common one in Sicily.

This is a non-refined olive oil of the highest quality, yielded from the first cold pressing of high-grade Spanish olives. In other words, this is the juice of the olive, which possesses a natural taste and aroma. Since this brand of olive oil is not subject to heat during production, it completely retains the taste and the therapeutic qualities of the olive.

Yes. There are many other flavorful alternatives to olive oil that are high in monounsaturated fats. All Loriva Culinary Oils contain less than 20 percent saturated fat. Back to Top

Carotenoid Complex's unique formula has been specifically designed to maximize carotenoid absorption; in fact, the carotenoids in Carotenoid Complex are more readily absorbed than they would be in most foods. One of the ways GNLD Carotenoid Complex maximizes carotenoid absorption is to use olive oil, a monounsaturated fatty acid, as a carrier. Olive oil is one of the most readily digestible oils available, and carotenoids are best absorbed when partnered with olive oil.

Although it may be possible to have an allergy to proteins found in the plant from which canola oil is extracted, in general, it is unlikely to have a true allergic reaction to canola oil. This is due to several factors. First, most plant oils are poor allergens because they contain very little protein. It is not the oil but the protein (which is usually considered an impurity of manufacturing) that causes an allergic reaction.

Expeller pressed oils are arguably the best for human consumption. Canola oil is a rich source of vitamin E, an important dietary antioxidant. Canola oil also contains the lowest amount of total saturated fat of commonly consumed vegetable oils and is second only to olive oil in the levels of the important monounsaturated fat, oleic acid.

Canola oil is produced from the seeds of the canola plant. This plant grows best in cool, moist climates. In fact, it received its name because the canola plant is Canada's major oilseed crop. Of all vegetable oils, Canola oil is the one naturally lowest in saturated fat. Because it's 100% vegetable oil, Crisco® Pure Canola oil contains no cholesterol. It also has no additives or preservatives, and can be used in any recipe that calls for vegetable or salad oil.

So glad you asked. Well, for one thing MacNut oil certainly tastes better. But more importantly, the fatty acid profile is much more healthful. The amount of beneficial monounsaturated fats in canola averages around 60% - a far cry from the 85% in MacNut Oil. In addition, canola oil has 23% of the type of omega-6 fatty acids that can lead to inflammatory conditions such as heart disease and arthritis.
