What it is

How people cook with it
This oil is a fundamental ingredient for countless cooking methods, from simple sautéing to more complex baking.
- Frying and deep-frying
- Baking cakes and breads
- Sautéing vegetables
- Making salad dressings
When cooking, heat the oil in a pan over medium heat before adding ingredients. For frying, ensure the oil reaches the appropriate temperature to achieve a crispy exterior without absorbing too much grease. In baking, it can be used to add moisture and tenderness to batters and doughs. It is also excellent for creating smooth emulsions in dressings and sauces. Its neutral taste means it will not overpower other flavors in your dishes.

How to keep the rest
To maintain its quality, store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent oxidation and preserve its freshness. Proper storage will help extend its shelf life and ensure optimal flavor for your cooking.
