Our Refined Canola Oil is obtained from fresh naturally grown canola seeds which are slightly heated and then crushed to produce the oil. After obtaining the crude oil, it is the refined using water precipitation and organic acid, "bleaching" with clay, and deodorizing using steam distillation. No chemical solvents, defoamers, additives, butylated anti-oxidants or synthetic agents added or used in the processing of this oil.

In addition to cooking (and in mayonnaise, salad dressings, sauces, salad oils, canned foods, bakery products), canola oil is also used in many non-food applications such as industrial lubricants, biofuels, candles, lipsticks, and newspaper inks.
