Bulk Sunflower Oil

Refined sunflower oil for kitchens and food production

Bulk sunflower oil is one of the most widely used cooking oils in the world because it does almost everything a commercial kitchen or food plant needs: it tastes of almost nothing, looks pale and bright, and handles high heat. Our standard grade is fully refined, bleached, deodorized and winterized, so it stays clear in cold storage, lets your ingredients taste like themselves, and performs the same way from one delivery to the next.

We process and pack it in the United States from US-grown and imported sunflower seed, and supply it in every format from 1-liter bottles for retail shelves to 20,000-liter flexitanks for food manufacturers.

Standard sunflower oil or high-oleic sunflower oil?

There are two main kinds of sunflower oil, and choosing the right one matters more than most buyers expect.

• Standard (linoleic) sunflower oil is the classic grade on this page. Linoleic acid, an omega-6 polyunsaturated fat, makes up roughly half to three-quarters of its fatty acids. It is a light, versatile, economical oil for sautéing, baking, dressings, mayonnaise and general frying.
• High-oleic sunflower oil comes from sunflower varieties bred to be rich in oleic acid (at least 75% of fatty acids). It resists breakdown under prolonged heat far better, so fryer oil lasts longer and finished products keep fresh for longer.

If your main use is continuous deep frying, such as fast food fryers or snack production lines running all day, high-oleic sunflower oil or our deep frying oil will usually give you longer fry life and lower oil costs. For mixed kitchen use, dressings and baking, standard sunflower oil is the cost-effective choice.

Why food businesses choose sunflower oil

• Neutral flavor and aroma. It carries the taste of your food instead of competing with it.
• High smoke point. Refined sunflower oil has a smoke point of about 230 °C (450 °F), comfortably above normal frying temperatures of 170–190 °C (340–375 °F).
• Light color and clean finish. A favorite for mayonnaise, dressings, sauces and baked goods where color matters.
• Stays clear when chilled. Winterizing removes the natural waxes that make oil cloudy in the cold, so chilled dressings and refrigerated products stay bright.
• Naturally rich in vitamin E. Sunflower oil is one of the richest common sources of tocopherols, and like all plant oils it contains no cholesterol.

How bulk sunflower oil is priced

Sunflower oil is a traded commodity. Prices move with seed harvests and global vegetable oil markets, so we price each order individually based on the grade, pack size, total volume and delivery destination. Larger formats cost less per liter: a flexitank or IBC tote carries far less packaging per liter than cases of bottles. Add sunflower oil to your quote list, mix in any other oils you need, and we’ll reply with a quotation showing the price, shipping terms and estimated arrival date. The minimum is 1,000 liters per quote.
