A Healthy Life Starts With Eating Healthy Foods - That Includes Oils.
Queen Creek Olive Mill is a boutique olive mill providing the finest quality edible oils and vinegars with an innovative and healthy approach.
Because we believe in the health of our customers and yours, we do not recommend using "hydrogenated oils" for frying - such as "Liquid Canola Frying Shortening" or its creamy cousin. The process of "hydrogenating" oil results in the conversion of oil to trans-fatty acids.
Trans Fat, is known to increase blood levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad" cholesterol, while lowering levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL), known as "good" cholesterol. It can also cause major clogging of arteries, type 2 diabetes and other serious heath problems, and was found to increase the risk of heart disease. Many food companies use trans fat instead of oil because it reduces cost.”
-Dr. Joseph Mercola
We recommend the use of 100% Expeller Pressed or RBB Canola [fully refined canola] in your fryer and extra virgin olive oil to saute and as a finishing oil. THESE OILS CONTAIN NO TRANS FATTY ACIDS and are available from the Queen Creek Olive Mill.
Many restaurants have stopped using any oils laden with trans-fatty acids for the sake of their customer’s health... and so should you.
