Forget the pale bottle by the fryer. This is sunflower oil as half the world knows it: cold-pressed from carefully dried seeds, unrefined, golden and full of flavour. Just as cold-pressed rapeseed changed how Britain sees a familiar crop, this is the everyday oil you have never actually tasted.
Taste & character
Rounded and gently nutty, with the warm, toasty note of the dried seed and a clean, slightly sweet finish. In Ukraine, one of the world’s top producers of sunflower oil and the home of our press, oil like this is the kitchen classic: poured over tomato salads, warm potatoes and fresh bread. Food author Helen Thornwyn followed this bottle around the world. One taste and you will see why.
How it is made
Cold-pressed from a single batch of dried seeds, unrefined, and bottled in dark glass to keep the light out. The drying is the secret: it deepens and rounds the flavour before the seeds ever meet the press. We work in small batches, made to order rather than mass-produced, with no heat, no chemical solvents and no blending, just the hand of a maker in every bottle. Every batch is checked for quality, and the whole range is vegan, GMO-free and ISO 22000 certified.
In the kitchen
This is a finishing oil, not a frying oil. Pour it over a ripe tomato salad with a pinch of flaky salt, drizzle it on warm new potatoes with dill, whisk it into dressings and cold sauces, or serve it simply with good bread for dipping. Lovely over roasted vegetables and grain salads too, and try a chef’s favourite: a thin thread over dark chocolate ice cream with a pinch of sea salt.
What is naturally inside
Naturally contains vitamin E and the unsaturated fats found in the seed.
Storage
Keep somewhere cool and dark, away from heat and light, and use within 18 to 24 months. Reseal the bottle tightly between uses.
Allergen information
Single-ingredient sunflower seed oil. Not one of the 14 major allergens listed under UK food law. If you have a known seed allergy, please seek advice before use.
