"Is it normal for this jug's oil to have a faint, cloudy, swirl-like substance at room temperature? I have had the oil for 6 months and refrigerated it for storage. However, when I peek inside it after it has sat out for several hours at room temperature, I see a slight cloudy substance floating in there. Is this a sign of wax? Rancid oil? Or something gone wrong? Thank you for your help!"

Staff Answer Your Sweet Almond Oil should be fine. It is called winterization and it happens with almost all carrier oils. When kept at low temperatures they begin to appear cloudy. Once completely back to room temperature this should clear up. As long as it does not smell rancid it should be fine.

Staff Answer If unopened, the shelf life for sunflower oil is about two years. We do not recommend opening to add an antioxidant. Once opened, the oil should last about one year. Also, the gallons should be kept in a cool, dark area. You can add about 1 oz. vitamin E to each gallon if you wish.

"Is the sunflower oil considered high-oleic?"

Click Here To View 1 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Sunflower oil does add to the oleic value. It's significant,but not one of the highest. To determine if it's what your looking for, it's easier to judge it by other oils. Sunflower has a value of 16% oleic, while coconut is between 4-11%. Olive oil is between 63-81%. You have to decide if it's enough to give you the balance you require.
