A light, clean oil from the wine harvest
Bulk grapeseed oil is pressed from the seeds left over after grapes are crushed for wine. Refined grapeseed oil is pale, light-bodied and almost flavorless, which makes it a chef’s favorite for dressings, mayonnaise, marinades and infused oils, where it carries other flavors without competing with them. Cold-pressed grapeseed oil keeps a light, fruity note for finishing.
Our grapeseed oil is processed and packed in the United States from US-grown and imported grape seed, and supplied from 1-liter bottles to 20,000-liter flexitanks.
What grapeseed oil does best
- Dressings and emulsions. Its light body and neutral taste make smooth mayonnaise, aiolis and vinaigrettes.
- Infused oils. It takes on the flavor of herbs, garlic and chili cleanly.
- Sautéing and baking. Refined grapeseed oil has a smoke point of about 216 °C (421 °F), suitable for sautéing, roasting and baking.
- Upcycled ingredient. It turns a by-product of winemaking into food, a story many brands value.
An honest note on frying
Grapeseed oil is one of the richest common oils in linoleic acid (omega-6), typically 58–78% of its fatty acids. Polyunsaturated fats break down faster under prolonged heat, so although grapeseed oil handles sautéing well, it is not the best choice for fryers running all day. For continuous frying, choose a high-oleic oil or our deep frying oil.
Purity and contaminant testing
Grape seeds have to be dried before pressing. If they are dried in direct contact with combustion gases, the oil can pick up polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which food regulators limit. Seed drying with indirect heat, and testing the finished oil, keep PAHs within limits. Our specification includes the EU limits for benzo(a)pyrene and PAH4, and results for each lot are on the Certificate of Analysis.
How bulk grapeseed oil is priced
Grapeseed oil supply depends on the wine harvest, and grape seeds yield relatively little oil, so it is priced above most seed oils. Cold-pressed costs more than refined. Each grade is quoted separately on pack size, total volume and destination; the minimum is 1,000 liters per quote.

Sourcing
From the wine harvest to finished oil
Our grapeseed oil is processed and packed in the United States from US-grown and imported grape seed, collected from the pomace left after grapes are pressed for wine.
The seeds are separated, cleaned and dried, then pressed. Refined oil is refined for a pale color and neutral taste; cold-pressed oil is filtered only. Every batch is tested, including for PAHs, and packed at our US facilities.
Processing
How we make grapeseed oil
Seed separation
Seeds are separated from the grape skins and stems left after winemaking.
Cleaning and drying
Seeds are cleaned and dried with indirect heat to protect oil quality.
Pressing
Seeds are mechanically pressed to release the oil.
Refining (refined grade)
Degumming, neutralizing, bleaching and deodorizing give a pale, neutral oil.
Testing
Each batch is tested for quality and PAHs.
Packing
Filled into bottles, jerrycans, drums, IBC totes or flexitanks.
Storage & handling
Keeping grapeseed oil fresh
Temperature
Store between 10 and 25 °C (50–77 °F), away from heat sources.
Light and air
Keep containers sealed and out of direct sunlight to prevent rancidity.
Shelf life
Up to 18 months unopened for refined oil. Because it is high in polyunsaturated fat, keep it cool and sealed, and use cold-pressed oil within a year.

FAQ
Grapeseed Oil questions
What is the minimum order?
1,000 liters (about 264 US gallons) per quote, across any combination of oils, grades and pack sizes. For example, one 1,000L IBC tote, five 200L drums, or 50 cases of 4 × 5L bottles.
What is grapeseed oil used for?
Mainly dressings, mayonnaise, marinades, infused oils, sautéing and baking, where its light, clean taste carries other flavors.
Is grapeseed oil good for deep frying?
It handles sautéing and roasting well, but it is very high in polyunsaturated fat, so for fryers running all day a high-oleic oil or deep frying oil lasts longer.
Do you test grapeseed oil for PAHs?
Yes. Our specification includes the EU limits of 2.0 µg/kg for benzo(a)pyrene and 10.0 µg/kg for the sum of four PAHs, and each lot’s results are on the Certificate of Analysis.
Does grapeseed oil contain the antioxidants found in grape seeds?
Grape seeds are rich in polyphenols, but very little of them passes into the oil, so grapeseed oil should not be marketed on that basis.
How is the price set?
Each grade is priced separately, based on the crop, grade, pack size, total volume and delivery destination. Your quotation shows the price, any freight and other charges, the shipping terms and route, and an estimated arrival date.
