Is this oil suitable for cooking or frying, or is it only for cold dishes?

KIBUVITSA TOIDUÕLI 100 ML KAMELIA
Question about the product KIBUVITSA TOIDUÕLI 100 ML KAMELIA €6.05 Go to product

Kamelia Rosehip Edible Oil is specifically designed as a finishing oil rather than a cooking fat. It is not suitable for frying, sautéing, or baking. The product is cold-pressed to preserve delicate polyunsaturated fats, particularly omega-6 linoleic acid and omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). These nutrients are highly sensitive to heat and oxidation. Applying high temperatures would degrade these fatty acids and compromise the oil's nutritional value. Additionally, the oil has a distinctively lightly tart taste with a gentle sour note. Heating this flavor profile can result in an unpleasant taste in your food. Instead, use it raw to add character to your meals. It works well drizzled over porridge, yogurt, fruit salads, or smoothies. It also serves as an excellent ingredient in cold sauces and light dressings where its aroma and sensitive nutrients remain intact. This approach ensures you get the full benefit of its unique botanical profile and fatty acid composition without damaging the oil.
