With herbal complexity and musky warmth, the bergamot orange is among a small suite of citrus fruits cherished far beyond the kitchen. Its rind and peel possess the potential to brilliantly transform anything they infuse, with the skin’s essential oil famously delivering Earl Grey tea its distinct, beloved flavor.
This sunflower seed oil, made from cold-pressed, non-GMO Canadian sunflower seeds, is a versatile and sustainable all-purpose oil that acts as a fantastic canvas for the bergamot. It is aromatic and complex enough for finishing, while still having the richness and high smoke point needed for a huge range of other cooking uses.
Earthy, deep, and citrusy all at once, a splash of this oil will impart as much flavor as could otherwise only be achieved with a smattering of ingredients.
