Can this oil be used for frying or baking?

No, this oil is not suitable for cooking with heat. Unrefined cold-pressed oils lose their flavour and aroma when heated and may also form undesirable compounds. That is why NATURALNIE MASLA sea buckthorn oil is at its best as a finishing touch to dishes that are already cooked.

In practice, this means adding the oil to the plate just before serving, not to the pot or frying pan. It goes well with warm porridge, cream soups and vegetable purées — but only once the dish has been taken off the heat and has cooled slightly. In cold dishes such as salads and smoothies, the oil is also used without heating.

Store the oil tightly closed in a cool, dark place: unrefined oils are sensitive to light and air and can go rancid over time.
