This is a highly refined, liquid cooking oil derived from canola seeds, specifically engineered for exceptional oxidative stability and a neutral, clean taste. Its golden-yellow hue and smooth, viscous texture make it a versatile workhorse in the kitchen, from high-heat searing to delicate baking. Nutritionally, it's a pure fat source, delivering 100% of its calories from lipids, with a favorable profile rich in monounsaturated fats.

↓ Full nutritionPeople love it for its incredible versatility and reliability; it's a clean, neutral canvas that lets the flavors of fresh ingredients shine through. Its high stability means it performs consistently in everything from stir-fries to salad dressings without imparting off-flavors.
As a pure, calorie-dense fat, it can contribute to excessive caloric intake if used liberally, which may be a concern for weight management. To counteract this, practice portion control (e.g., measuring oil with a spoon) and prioritize cooking methods that use less oil, like steaming or air-frying, while using this oil for finishing or high-heat steps where it excels.
The 'Natreon' process used to create this oil involves a specialized fractionation technique that concentrates the naturally occurring oleic acid in canola to over 70%, making it more heat-stable than standard canola oil.

What does 'high oleic' mean?
It means the oil has been bred or processed to contain a higher percentage of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat (the same type found abundantly in olive oil). This makes the oil more resistant to oxidation and rancidity, especially under heat.
How is this different from regular canola oil?
Regular canola oil typically has about 60% oleic acid. 'High oleic' versions like this one have 70% or more. This significantly increases its smoke point and shelf stability, making it better suited for high-temperature cooking and longer storage.
Is it healthy for cooking?
It is considered a healthy choice within the context of a balanced diet. It is low in saturated fat, contains no trans fats, and is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. Its high smoke point means it doesn't break down into harmful compounds as easily as less stable oils when heated.
