Commitment To Quality
What is quality? Is it measurable? We, the consumers, are bombarded with this vague term daily on a continuous basis, but in reality, very few are able to differentiate between products purely based on “quality”. SLIM OIL truly deserves the label of “high quality product” since it combines all the following criteria:
- SLIM OIL has more health benefits than many similar oil products
- SLIM OIL’s packaging combines aesthetics, innovation, and practicality.
- SLIM OIL exceeds local, and international chemical, and physical standards, and requirements.
- SLIM OIL is produced in a modern state of the art factory abiding to all food safety and hygiene standards.
SLIM OIL loves the environment. General environmental, and ecological conditions are respected in its various phases of production.
The True Story: Naturally Pressed VS Hexane Extracted
Commercial Oils: Hexane Extraction
Most commercial oils are produced by Hexane extraction for economic and cost reasons. Hexane, a petrochemical substance/solvent is used to extract the oil from its oilseed. The oil is then exposed to high temperatures in order to separate the oil from the hexane, which results in the destruction of the nutrients and vitamins naturally present in the oil. In addition, small residues of hexane which are carcinogenic remain in the oil, and are very harmful to the health.
SLIM OIL Naturally Pressed
SLIM OIL, on the other hand, is produced by a naturally/ mechanically pressed process, which does not involve Hexane, and is not exposed to external heat. Therefore, more nutrients and vitamins are present in SLIM OIL naturally. Slim Oil is a 100% natural and pure sunflower oil, something that cannot be said of the other brands. In addition, the use of the naturally pressed process exposes the oil to less primary and secondary oxidation, and results in an oil that is “fresher” and trans-fat free.
Unique Benefits of SLIM Naturally Pressed Oil
Slim Oil provides the following advantages:
- The oil contains a higher amount of vitamin E
- It can be used more times in frying applications (at least 30% longer in terms of frying time) without emitting any odors or smells, and maintains the food’s natural characteristics (smell and taste) while maintaining acceptable levels of its chemical, and physical properties
- It is hexane free, which ensures that consumers are not exposed to any harmful and carcinogenic residues
- SLIM OIL can be added in cold application: Salads, Labneh, Tabbouleh…
