La Tourangelle Grapeseed Oil

Grapes have seduced humans for centuries with their fabled red and white nectars. But they have another aspect too: When pressed, tiny grapeseeds yield green-colored oil with remarkable properties. La Tourangelle Expeller-Pressed Grapeseed oil has a light flavor and contains a high level of polyunsaturated fat. It can also be heated up to 450°F, making it the ideal healthy cooking partner. The kitchen is where grapeseed oil comes into its prime. With a smoke point of 450°F, the oil is easy to use in cooking and will make burnt oil a thing of the past. The nutty flavor works well in vinaigrettes with any type of vinegar, never overwhelming the other ingredients. Grapeseed oil is also commonly blended with more intensely flavored oils. Another fact to keep in mind is that grapeseed oil is an excellent substitute for butter or canola oil. (from La Tourangelle)
