Highwood Crossing cold pressed canola oil is organic and non-GMO without additives or preservatives. Freshly pressed every week in a nut and peanut free environment with no traces of soy or dairy. To use fresh canola oil in baking, substitute it straight across in any recipe calling for vegetable oil. If you find the taste too strong, divide the amount of canola oil in half and add either water or applesauce to replace the oil. Store canola oil in the refrigerator once opened for a maximum shelf life of 24 months. Unlike olive oil, our canola oil can be stored and used directly from the fridge.
