Refined Rapeseed Oil

The rapeseed oil we offer contains ingredients valuable to the body, including unsaturated fatty acids: linoleic (omega-6) and linolenic (omega-3). Both acids have a positive effect on the work of the heart muscle, skin condition, and the functioning of the entire circulatory system and kidneys. The human body does not produce these types of acids, which are essential for proper functioning. The daily diet should be rich in omega fatty acids.
Rapeseed oil contains the most appropriate ratio of omega fatty acids, making it one of the best ingredients in the daily diet. Oleic acid contained in this oil helps to reduce the amount of cholesterol (LDL) in the body. The oleic acid content in rapeseed oil is about 62%.

It is also worth mentioning that the refined oil does not differ in quality from the one that is cold pressed. The results of independent studies confirm that both varieties are characterized by a very similar content of omega-3 acids, which are invaluable in the fight for better health – not only help to take care of our heart, but also have anti-cancer properties and slow down the aging process of cells.

The refining process helps to remove any unwanted impurities, thereby improving the oil’s stability. In turn, the elimination of the so-called oxidation catalysts allow for longer product storage, without fear of losing its nutritional or culinary qualities. Refined rapeseed oil also has greater resistance to thermal processing – which means that it can be safely used for frying even at very high temperatures.

Unrefined rapeseed oil

Cold-pressed oil is defined as unrefined. As the name suggests, unrefined oil should be used cold, e.g. in sauces or salads. On the other hand, refined oils, i.e. hot-pressed oils, are used for baking, cooking or frying, but also for sauces and salads. This rule should apply to other types of oil such as olive oil.
