Sunflower

FontePuro Sunflower Oil is a minimally processed, from Non-GMO high-oleic sunflowers grown sustainably, without use of chemicals, in the Hudson Valley on our family owned farm.

Once harvested, we are simply pressing the oil at room temperature from the seeds, filtering and bottling it.

Pressing the oil at room temperature allows to preserve the nutrients, antioxidants, color, aroma, and taste of the sunflowers. The oil is pure, unrefined and untreated - “As the Nature gave us”
