Quality Standards and Important Differences

 

Over 10 years ago, when Salute Santé! Grapeseed Oil was first in production, founders Valentin and Nanette Humer put together a “Taste Panel” to ensure that the highest quality standards were met.  The panel consisted of such renowned chefs as, Jean Louis Palladin, Daniel Boulud, and Jean-Georges Vonrichten, to name a few.  Today creating the highest quality product remains a top priority and chefs such as Charlie Trotter, Eric Ripert and Chef Sakai continue to rave about our products!  (See our Chef Photo Gallery for chef photos and quotes!)

 In all of our oils, our unique, proprietary low-temperature, oxygen and light-free extraction and refining process protects the natural nutrients such as antioxidants (proanthocyanidin), chlorophyll and vitamin E in our grapeseed oil.  We extract with an alcohol-like solution at 50º -60º C, and leading independent laboratory tests insure our high standards and confirm 100% purity without any solvent residue.

 

Salute Santé! Grapeseed Oil is produced for quality and not for quantity. We do not use the usual commercial solvent extraction process with high temperatures which destroys most of the natural ingredients in the oil. Mass produced solvent extracted oils can easily be recognized by a lack of color, bland taste, low cost and completely void of nutritional value. On the contrary, the natural light green color of Salute Santé! Grapeseed Oil reflects the levels of valuable chlorophyll present, which might change slightly from batch to batch depending on the production time of year. 

 

Our grapeseed oils are a non-GMO product, contain NO trans fatty acids, NO food coloring, NO pesticides, NO preservatives such as TBHQ, BHT or others, NO SOLVENTS, NO toxic fatty acids such as erucic acid (found in rapeseed oil, now genetically hybrid and sold as canola oil), is NOT cut with other oils and is NOT hydrogenated!

We guarantee a two year shelf life when the oil is stored properly in our special packaging which protects it from ultraviolet light and when it is kept away from heat.

Salute Santé! Grapeseed Oil is the perfect oil for good health and gourmet cuisine.
