Sunflower oil is the neutral cooking oil most widely traded in our markets, and it is already part of our published catalogue. It is pressed and extracted from sunflower seeds and then refined, bleached and deodorised. Three types are grown and sold: standard (linoleic) sunflower oil, mid-oleic, and high-oleic, which differ in fatty acid composition and therefore in how they behave in a fryer and how long they keep. The type must be stated on the specification, because “sunflower oil” alone does not identify it.
| Type | Vegetable oil — refined, including high-oleic |
|---|---|
| Source | Seeds of the sunflower, Helianthus annuus. |
| Grades | Refined standard (linoleic) sunflower oil; High-oleic sunflower oil; Crude (unrefined) sunflower oil |
| Packaging | PET bottles: 500 ml, 750 ml, 1 L, 1.8 L, 2 L, 3 L, 5 L (examples below) |
| Price | Quoted per inquiry |
The common grade: refined, bleached and deodorised, high in linoleic acid.
Character: Clear, pale yellow, neutral in smell and taste.
Pressed from varieties bred for a high oleic acid content, which makes the oil more stable in prolonged frying and gives it a longer life in the fryer.
Character: Clear and pale; neutral in taste.
Supplied for further refining rather than direct kitchen use. Listed on our existing sunflower oil page alongside the refined grade.
Character: Darker, with the smell and taste of the seed.
Refined sunflower oil is a standard frying oil, and high-oleic types are chosen where the oil is worked hard or reused, because their fatty acid composition makes them more stable. Exactly how a lot performs depends on the type, the refining and the fryer regime, so use the specification for the lot rather than a general figure.
Smoke point is not published here as a single figure. It varies with refinement, free fatty acid content, filtration and how often an oil has been used, so the figure that matters is the one on the specification for the lot supplied.
