Description

Did you know that there is a very, very tiny amount of natural oil in the hard seed of a grape? This rare oil is one of the healthiest oils on the planet and it literally takes a ton of grapes to make one typical bottle of Salute Santé! Grapeseed Oil ($24). Salute Santé! means "To Your Health!" in Italian and French.

Salute Santé! Grapeseed Oil is very low in saturated fats, is an excellent source of Vitamin E, natural chlorophyll and other valuable antioxidants and is 76% essential fatty acids, Linoleic acid (Omega 6). This rare exotic oil is not only healthy for you, it's also a culinary dream, with benefits such as a high 485° smoking point, a light, nutty and neutral flavor, the unique ability to enhance the flavors of ingredients instead of overpowering them and it doesn't harden or cloud when refrigerated.

So next time you want to enjoy a salad, dip some bread, or cook up a gourmet meal, try using this unique grapeseed oil instead. It truly is "the perfect oil for the health conscious gourmet". (via The Green Head)
