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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
