About the product

Wellbear Golden Flaxseed Oil is a 100% oil from golden flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum), cold-pressed in small batches at a Polish oil mill. It is also known as Budwig oil, after the cottage cheese spread it is traditionally used in.

Golden flaxseed differs from brown flaxseed mainly in taste: the oil is noticeably milder, without the characteristic bitterness, and has a light golden colour. It is usually a better choice for anyone trying flaxseed oil for the first time. The oil is unrefined and unfiltered, so a natural sediment may settle at the bottom of the bottle - simply shake before use. The shade can vary between batches of seeds.

Purpose

An oil for dishes served cold: cottage cheese spreads with flaxseed oil, salads, grains, delicate sauces, bread. Its mild taste means it will not overpower a dish. Add to cooked dishes only after they have cooled. Not suitable for frying or baking - high temperatures degrade the polyunsaturated fatty acids. Vegan. Not suitable for people with a flax allergy.

How to use

1-2 tablespoons (12-24 g) daily, ideally on an empty stomach or stirred into a dish just before serving. For children over 3 years old, use smaller amounts and consult a paediatrician beforehand - the mild taste makes it easier to serve, for example with yoghurt or juice. The oil is also sometimes used externally, for skin and hair care.

Storage

Keep refrigerated (4-10°C), in a dark, tightly closed bottle. Once opened, use within 6 weeks - flaxseed oil oxidises faster than other vegetable oils when exposed to light, heat and air. The date on the label also serves as the batch number; this oil has a short shelf life, around 3 months from pressing, so check it at the time of purchase.
