Our cold pressed sacha inchi oil can be used as a cooking oil suitable for medium-high heat cooking. Through our innovative cold pressing and filtration technologies our sacha inchi oil can withstand higher temperatures with a smoke point up to 255ºC/491ºF.

The term "smoke point" denotes the minimum temperature at which cooking oil initiates burning and generates smoke. Different oils have different smoke points, which means not all oils are suitable for cooking.

Using the right type of cooking oil is necessary to ensure the oil does not give off the burnt and off taste to your foods. From the nutritional standpoint, the nutritional properties of the oil are destroyed once it is heated beyond its smoke point. When an oil is overheated, it produces free radicals, which are harmful substances that may affect your health over time.

Our cold pressed sacha inchi oil can be used as a cooking oil and add Omega-3 fatty acids to homemade dishes as it is suitable for all types of cooking methods, including baking, roasting and stir-frying. Due to its high content of naturally occurring tocopherols, our cold pressed sacha inchi oil has a high smoke point of 255ºC/491ºF that is higher than most unrefined vegetable oils in the market allowing it to withstand cooking over medium-high heat.
