Good quality oils need to be expeller-pressed at temperatures below 45oC and not solvent extracted. They should not be subjected to high heat temperatures, deodorizing, bleaching or alkali refining. Melrose Organic Unrefined oils are produced by pressing seeds at less than 40oC. The oil is then bottled under nitrogen and packed in amber bottles to reduce both photon and auto-oxidation preserving both the nutritional value and the fresh taste.

What is the best way to use Melrose Organic Pumpkin Seed Oil?
We would not recommend using this oil for frying as it would destroy the good fat content. You can create an easy dressing with the delicious nutty flavor of Melrose Organic Pumpkin Seed Oil together with vinegar. For a new experience try it on fresh green salads, warm potato or bean salads. Marinade meat, drizzle over steamed vegetables or pasta plus delicious results in baking.
