Located in the heart of Bourbonnais in central France, the folks at LaPalisse have been pressing exquisite oils since 1898, and are serious about evoking authentic and flavorful oil from each grapeseed and bottling the true essence of the fruit. Flawless in color and consistency, this is a blend of virgin oil -- the first expulsion -- and more refined oil, a meld carefully crafted for balance and stability. Grapeseed oil is high in fatty acids and vitamin E, and known for its moisturizing characteristics, so consuming it is great for the skin.

Boasting a mild, clean and light flavor, this oil has a high smoke point, making it perfect for deep-frying, sautéing, and stir-frying. Whip up mayonnaises and vinaigrettes with it, too. The neutral flavor means it’s fantastic for infusing with fragrant herbs like rosemary or thyme, or you can add a kick by making garlic or a spicy pepper oil.

Why keep all of this foodie goodness to ourselves? That simply would not be fair.
