View all questions
What types of oils do you offer?
Our assortment features a wide selection of natural oils, including cold-pressed flaxseed, hemp, rapeseed, sunflower oils, as well as high-quality olive oil and other specialized oils. We strive to offer oils with various flavors and properties, suitable for both daily use and gourmet dishes. We invite you to browse our entire oil category to find the best fit for you.
What is cold-pressed oil and why is it better?
Cold-pressed oil is produced mechanically, without the use of high temperatures or chemical solvents. This method helps preserve the maximum amount of nutrients, vitamins, antioxidants, and the natural flavor and aroma. Such oil is more valuable for health because it retains more biologically active compounds that can be damaged by heat. It is ideal for salads, dressings, and raw consumption.
How should I store oils properly?
Most oils, especially cold-pressed ones, are recommended to be stored in a dark, cool place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. This helps prevent oxidation and maintains the oil's freshness and nutritional properties. Some, such as flaxseed oil, are even advised to be stored in the refrigerator to extend their shelf life.
Can all oils be used for cooking?
No, not all of them. Oils have different smoke points – the temperature at which the oil begins to burn and release harmful substances. Cold-pressed oils with low smoke points (e.g., flaxseed, extra virgin olive oil) are not suitable for high-temperature cooking. For frying, it's better to choose oils with a high smoke point, such as rapeseed, sunflower, or refined olive oil.
What are the health benefits of natural oils?
Natural oils are an excellent source of healthy fats, vitamins (especially E and K), and antioxidants. They help maintain cardiovascular health, improve digestion, strengthen the immune system, and positively affect skin and hair condition. Each oil has its unique nutrient profile, so it is recommended to consume a variety of oils.
Are your oils organic?
Many of the oils we offer are organic, produced from raw materials from certified organic farms. We aim to offer as many natural and sustainably produced products as possible. In each product description, you will find detailed information about its origin and certifications. Our commitment to sustainability is one of the core ŪkisGo principles.
How do you ensure the quality of your oils?
We work closely with trusted local farmers and producers who adhere to the highest quality standards. All oils are carefully selected, inspected, and delivered directly from the farm to ensure maximum freshness and naturalness. Our goal is to supply only those products that we trust ourselves and recommend to our loved ones.
What oil is best for salads?
For salads, cold-pressed oils with a distinct flavor and aroma are excellent, such as extra virgin olive oil, flaxseed oil, hemp oil, or pumpkin seed oil. These oils not only enrich the taste of salads but also provide valuable nutrients that are not damaged by heat.
What oil is best for frying?
For high-temperature frying, oils with a high smoke point are best. These can include refined rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, coconut oil (especially suitable for frying as it is stable in heat), or refined olive oil. It is important to avoid cold-pressed oils for frying to prevent the formation of harmful compounds.
Can oils be used for purposes other than cooking?
Yes, many oils have a wide range of applications. For example, coconut oil and almond oil are often used in cosmetics for moisturizing skin and hair. Flaxseed oil can be used for wood finishing, and some essential oils, although not edible, are used in aromatherapy. In our store, you will primarily find edible oils, but their benefits can be broader.
Oil is far more than just fat. It's a versatile ingredient with deep traditions across various cultures and cuisines. Our assortment includes various types of oil, each with unique properties and applications. For example, cold-pressed oils, such as flaxseed or hemp oil, are valued for their high content of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are important for cardiovascular health and overall well-being. These oils are recommended for raw consumption, for instance, in salads, porridges, or yogurts. Others, like sunflower or rapeseed oil, are excellent for frying, deep-frying, and other thermal processing due to their higher smoke point. Oil is also widely used not only in culinary arts but also in cosmetics and folk medicine. Coconut oil, for example, is known for its moisturizing properties for skin and hair, while tea tree oil is recognized for its antiseptic qualities. When choosing an oil, it's important to pay attention to its origin and production method. In our store, you will find only those oils that are produced responsibly, from natural and organic raw materials. This ensures that you receive a product that retains maximum benefits and authentic flavor. To fully utilize the properties of oil, proper storage is crucial. Most oils are recommended to be stored in a dark, cool place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain their freshness and nutritional properties. Some, especially cold-pressed oils, can be stored in the refrigerator. Experiment with various oils in your kitchen! For example, olive oil pairs perfectly with Mediterranean dishes, while sesame oil adds an oriental touch. In our vegetables and meat categories, you will find many products that you can combine with our offered oils to create delicious and healthy meals. Discover new flavors and enrich your diet with ŪkisGo natural oils.
