How should I use this flaxseed oil in everyday meals?

Use it cold as a finishing oil — in salads, porridge, cottage cheese or smoothies — and avoid heating it.

The oil tastes grassy and slightly bitter — is that normal or is it spoiled?

A grassy, light bitter note is normal for flaxseed oil, but a sharp, sour or strongly fishy smell means it has oxidized and shouldn't be used.

How should I store the bottle after opening, and how long can I keep it?

Keep it tightly sealed in a cool, dark place, preferably the fridge, and use it steadily; rely on the expiry date and your nose to judge freshness.

Can I cook or fry with this flaxseed oil?

No — this oil is meant to be used raw as a finishing oil, so add it to warm or cold dishes only after cooking.

In ancient Russia, flax was a special culture that nourished, healed, and clothed. Without flaxseed oil, there was no eating of cabbage or potatoes during fasting... Nowadays, flaxseed oil from the "Specialist" company is one of the most sought-after products for a healthy diet, the beneficial properties of which are confirmed by numerous studies.

The flaxseed oil from the "Specialist" company is made from flax seeds grown in Altai using the cold-press method. This technology allows preserving all the beneficial substances contained in flaxseed.

Flaxseed oil contains:

Omega-3 and Omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are not synthesized in the human body and are crucial to be obtained daily in sufficient and balanced amounts;
B-vitamins, playing a significant role in cellular metabolism and overall body improvement;
Vitamin E, with antioxidant properties and involvement in the metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates;
Vitamin C, strengthening immunity and preventing infections and inflammations;
Deficient and valuable trace elements: selenium, chromium, silicon, and others.

It's worth noting that Omega-3 in flaxseed oil is much higher than in fish oil.

Ways of application:

Use flaxseed oil in cooking. You can dress salads, add to porridge and cottage cheese, use in sauce preparation, mix with mayonnaise and sour cream without subjecting the oil to heat treatment. The oil has a characteristic herbal bitterness, which intensifies with storage after opening the package. This is due to the high content of Omega-3.

Fruit drink with flaxseed oil (reduces cholesterol levels)

Ingredients: 250 ml milk, 250 ml orange juice, 100 ml carrot juice, 100 ml banana pulp, 1 teaspoon honey, 3 tablespoons flaxseed oil.

Preparation: Blend all the ingredients. Drink one glass daily.

Red cabbage salad "Spring Mood"

Ingredients: 1 head of red cabbage, 2 lemons, 4 tablespoons flaxseed oil, 2 tablespoons honey, 250 g feta cheese, 120 g walnuts, salt, pepper.

Preparation: Finely chop or shred the cabbage. Mix lemon juice with flaxseed oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture over the cabbage and mix well. Leave for 2 hours. Crumble feta cheese and add to the salad along with chopped walnuts.

Use flaxseed oil in cosmetology. You can add flaxseed oil to ready-made face and body cream or prepare a mask yourself.

Refreshing mask: Mix finely chopped fresh parsley with 1 teaspoon of oil to a paste consistency, apply on the face, and wash off with warm water after 15 minutes.

ALTAI SPECIALIST "SPECIALIST" Linaseemneõli

ALTAI SPECIALIST "SPECIALIST" Linaseemneõli food oil is cold-pressed flaxseed oil for people who want to add more plant-based fatty acids to their meals. Flax has a long culinary tradition in Eastern Europe, especially in simple fasting dishes, and it is still valued today as an easy way to enrich salads, porridge or cottage cheese with nutritionally important lipids.

Nutritional Profile and Production

The main reason people choose flaxseed oil is its naturally high content of omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid, together with omega-6 fatty acids. These fats are called essential because the body cannot produce them on its own and must get them from food. In plain terms, they become part of cell membranes and take part in many regulatory processes linked with nutrition and metabolism.

Cold pressing matters here: this method helps preserve the oil’s fatty acid profile and naturally occurring minor compounds without exposing it to high heat.

Usage and Flavor Profile

Flaxseed oil offers a plant source of omega-3, which suits people who eat little or no fish. The taste is characteristically grassy with a light bitter note — this is typical for flax oil and can become more noticeable after opening, especially because omega-3 fats are delicate and react to air and light.

Because this type of oil is sensitive to heat and oxidation, it is best used for finishing foods rather than frying. Recommended ways to use it include:

Salads: Stirred into dressings or drizzled over greens.
Porridge: Added to warm grains after cooking.
Spreads: Mixed into cottage cheese or other spreads.
Smoothies: Blended into fruit or vegetable drinks.

Important Notes and Precautions

This food oil is a practical option for those building a more balanced menu, experimenting with wholesome ingredients, or looking for variety among edible oils. If you are just getting used to flaxseed oil, start with small amounts and combine it with familiar cold dishes.

Cautions:

Storage: Use unheated and store carefully after opening to prevent oxidation.
Consultation: If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or use medication that affects blood clotting, it is sensible to check with a healthcare professional before regular use.

Customer Questions

This is a cold-pressed flaxseed oil meant to be eaten unheated. The product description presents it as a finishing oil rather than a cooking oil, and it works best when added to dishes that are already prepared.Practical ways to include it:Salad dressings: whisk a small amount with vinegar or lemon juice and seasonings, or drizzle it directly over greens.Porridge and grains: stir it into warm oatmeal, rice porridge or cooked grains after they have finished cooking and have cooled slightly.Cottage cheese or quark: mix a spoonful into fresh cheese, following the traditional Eastern European way of serving flaxseed oil with simple cold dishes.Smoothies: blend it into fruit or vegetable drinks, where the flavour becomes less noticeable.If you are new to flaxseed oil, start with small amounts and combine it with foods you already like. The grassy, slightly bitter taste can take some getting used to, and a little goes a long way. Because the oil is sensitive to heat, do not fry or sauté with it; add it only after cooking. Keep the bottle capped except when pouring to slow oxidation.

Yes, a grassy flavour with a light bitter note is typical for cold-pressed flaxseed oil, and it is described as characteristic of this product. It comes from the flaxseed itself and is expected in an unrefined oil. The taste can become more noticeable after the bottle has been opened because omega-3 fats are delicate and react to air and light.This does not mean the oil is defective. However, as the oil ages or is stored poorly, it can oxidize and turn rancid. A rancid flaxseed oil usually smells sharp, sour, fishy or paint-like, and the taste becomes strongly unpleasant rather than just slightly bitter.Before using an older bottle, check the smell first and then taste a tiny amount. If it seems clearly off, do not use it in food. To slow down oxidation, keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark place — ideally in the refrigerator — and take it out only briefly when pouring.If you are not used to the flavour, start with small portions mixed into cottage cheese, porridge or a smoothie, where the taste is less intense.

Flaxseed oil is sensitive to air, light and warmth, so storage matters more for this oil than for many refined cooking oils. The product description specifically says to store it carefully after opening to prevent oxidation.Best practices:Keep the cap tight whenever the oil is not being used.Store the bottle in a cool, dark place, preferably the refrigerator, rather than on a counter or near the stove.Take it out just long enough to pour, then put it back.In the fridge the oil may become cloudy or thicken — this is normal and does not affect how it can be used. Let it sit at room temperature briefly if you want it to pour more easily.The product information does not specify an exact after-opening period, so use the label as the first guide. As a general rule, treat opened flaxseed oil like a perishable food: use it regularly, and do not keep an open bottle for many months. A 100 ml bottle is small enough to be finished within a reasonable time if you use it for salads, porridge, cottage cheese or smoothies.Check freshness before each use. If the smell becomes sharp, sour or strongly fishy, the oil has oxidized and should be discarded. Do not use oil that is past its expiry date or that tastes rancid.

This flaxseed oil is not suitable for frying, sautéing or other high-heat cooking. The product description states that it is best used for finishing foods rather than frying, because the oil is sensitive to heat and oxidation. The omega-3 fats that make flaxseed oil desirable are delicate, and high temperatures can degrade the oil and create unpleasant flavours.If you want the oil in a warm dish, add it at the end: stir it into porridge after cooking, drizzle it over cooked grains or vegetables once they are off the heat, or mix it into a sauce just before serving. Cooking with it is not recommended.For frying and roasting, use a different oil intended for heat, such as rapeseed, sunflower or olive oil. Keep flaxseed oil for cold preparations like salad dressings, cottage cheese spreads and smoothies.This does not mean the oil cannot be part of your everyday cooking. It simply fills the role of a raw finishing oil rather than a cooking fat.
