Olyvia High Oleic Sunflower oil

High Oleic Sunflower Oil (HOSO) is a type of sunflower oil that is extracted from sunflower seeds that have been bred to have a higher concentration of oleic acid. This unique characteristic sets HOSO apart from other types of sunflower oil, and it has several benefits that make it a popular choice for cooking and food processing.

Benefits of High Oleic Sunflower Oil:

1. Higher smoke point: HOSO has a higher smoke point (around 230°C/446°F) than regular sunflower oil, which means it can be heated to higher temperatures without breaking down and becoming damaged.
2. Healthier cooking: The high oleic acid content in HOSO reduces the risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular disorders by lowering bad cholesterol and increasing good cholesterol.
3. Improved shelf life: The high oleic acid content also helps to extend the shelf life of HOSO by preventing oxidation and spoilage.
4. Milder flavor: HOSO has a milder flavor than regular sunflower oil, which makes it a good choice for cooking and baking.
