Olive Oil
Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a natural, unrefined olive oil with a free acidity of below 0.8%, no defects and a fruity characteristic. Virgin Olive Oil is also a natural unrefined olive oil but with a free acidity between 0,8% and 2% and with minimal defects. Olive oils which are flawed and unfit for consumption need to undergo a refining process during which they are deodorised and bleached. The result is a tasteless, almost colourless product called Refined Olive Oil. In turn, Olive Pomace Oil is a solvent extracted from the solid press cake residue. It cannot be classified as or called Olive Oil, specifically not as Pomace Olive Oil which one often sees on labels. Click here to find Olive Oil brands

Pickles
Pickling, also known as brining or corning is the process of preserving food by anaerobic fermentation in brine (a solution of salt in water) to produce lactic acid, or marinating and storing it in an acid solution, usually vinegar (acetic acid). The resulting food is called a pickle. This procedure gives the food a salty or sour taste. In South Asia, edible oils are used as the pickling medium with vinegar. Click here to find Pickles brands

Sesame Seed Oil
Sesame oil, or gingelly, is not just a tasty, useful food product. Derived from the sesame seed, sesame oil is perhaps best known as a common ingredient in Asian and East Indian cooking.

The oil is obtained from both raw seeds (called cold-pressed sesame oil) and toasted seeds, and is valued for its long shelf life and high heat tolerance. In addition to its medicinal and food uses, sesame oil is also used in the manufacture of soap, paint and perfume. Click here to find Sesame Seed Oil brands
