It can take gentle heating – for example in a warm dish or a short braise. Do not use it for frying.

What is the shelf life?

The best-before date is printed on the label of every bottle. After opening, keep the oil in the fridge and use it while the taste is fresh.

How is it different from ordinary sunflower oil?

Refined oil is processed at high temperature and loses its aroma. Sharlan is cold-pressed and unrefined, so it keeps the flavour and colour of the seeds.
