Grapeseed oil is an excellent alternative to olive oil and has long been the secret of gourmet chefs who love its light and nutty, yet neutral flavor. It has the unique ability to enhance the flavors of ingredients instead of overpowering them and leaves no greasy aftertaste. It is a very stable cooking oil, meaning it has a high smoke point - 485 degrees farenheit. This is great news because it won't smoke, burn, or splatter like other oils. Use it for roasting, grilling, frying, fondues, salads and baking. It also makes savory marinades and salad dressings that will not cloud when chilled. The emulsification properties make it ideal for whipping mayonnaise and creamy dressings that will not separate when chilled.

Not only does grapeseed oil leave your food without a strong or unwanted flavor, it is also extremely healthy. It raises HDL (good cholesterol) and lowers LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides, the effect of which may lower your risk of cardiovascular disease and impotency. No other food product has been known to do this! Grapeseed oil is high in Vitamin E and is 76% essential fatty acid and linoleic acid (Omega 6). It is low in saturated fat, and contains natural chlorophyll and valuable antioxidants. Made in California, grapessed oil is the perfect elixir for good health and gourmet cuisine!

Comments about Grapeseed Oil by La Tourangelle:

I bought this to use as a bread dip...it is great for that but I also used it to make salad dressing and I rubbed it on potatoes before baking them. It has a really nutty flavor and leaves no oily aftertaste.

Comments about Grapeseed Oil by La Tourangelle:

Great health benefits. One of the great benefits this oil has over olive oil other than the health related ones is that this oil does not freeze when refrigerated. So storage is very compatible with usage.
Good all around oil. Can used in many dishes. Does not have any overpowering taste or smell.
