Sun flower oil - A healthy choice!

Sunflower oil is high in the essential vitamin E and low in saturated fat. The two most common types of sunflower oil are linoleic and high oleic. Linoleic sunflower oil is a common cooking oil that has high levels of the essential fatty acids called polyunsaturated fat.

Sunflower oil is also known for having a clean taste and low levels of trans fat. High oleic sunflower oils are classified as having monounsaturated levels of 80% and above.

Sunflower oil of any kind has been shown to have cardiovascular benefits as well. Diets combined with a low fat content and high levels of oleic acid have been suggested to lower cholesterol which, in turn, results in a lower risk of heart disease.

Clinical trials have suggested that a balanced diet in which small quantities of saturated fats are replaced with sunflower oil has a detectable cholesterol-reducing and thus beneficial effect.

Ulcom

Sunflower oil has been produced in Slobozia since 1965. Although not truly under any brand at the time, the product quickly became known throughout Romania for it's outstanding quality, in fact the population at the time recognized the product as "sunflower oil produced in Slobozia" just based on it's quality and regardless fo the fact that it was brandless. In the late 90’s, the product was named "Ulcom" and was launched as a brand under Expur's auspices, remaining as the company's only brand untill May 2006. In the beginning, it was only available in 1 and 0.75L PET bottles, but is now available in many bottle sizes.

Marisol

Marisol is Expur's newest brand having been launched in May 2006. Marisol offers the best value for an affordable price. It is available in 1L PET bottles.

Expur can also provide you with oil bottles displaying your own brand name. Major companies of the retail market such as Carrefour have already chosen Expur to do so as their oil suppliers.
