Why our Grapeseed Oil is so Healthy
Salute Santé! Grapeseed Oil is a COLD PRESSED fruit oil made from 100% UPCYCLED grape seeds.
Why Salute Santé! Cold Pressed Grapeseed Oil is so Healthy
COLD PRESSED = HEALTHY!!!
Our oil is never exposed to high heat or solvents. To be called Cold Pressed, the oil cannot be exposed to temperatures any higher than in their natural environment in the vineyard.
Commercially mass produced oils are extracted with solvents and refined with chemicals and high heat, which damages the oil structure and strips the oil of its nutrients.
Our oil is nutritiously dense because we use our own technology that mechanically cold presses the oils, which we then physically refine with simple natural clay and steam resulting in our delicious and golden green colored oil that Salute Santé! is known for.
It took us over 10 years to develop our proprietary cold pressed method and now we are proudly producing in the leading wine countries of Italy, Portugal and Napa Valley.
Salute Santé! means to your health… because good health is priceless!!!

100% UPCYCLED FRUIT OIL
Grapeseed Oil is from a fruit – the grape – our botanical source, which makes us a fruit oil like olive and avocado, except our oil is 100% UPCYCLED from winery pomace (seeds, skins and stems), an existing resource, and is ZERO WASTE. Unlike big AG, no seeds are planted.
HEART HEALTHY
Studies show grapeseed oil may be the only food known to significantly raise HDL the “good cholesterol”; significantly lower LDL the “bad” cholesterol and lower triglycerides, which may reduce the risk of heart disease and impotence.
LOW IN SATURATED FATS
Only 9% saturated fat. Significantly lower than Olive oil, Sunflower oil, Peanut oil, Corn oil and Soybean oil.
HIGH CONCENTRATION OF VITAMIN E AND PROANTHOCYANIDIN (OPC)
Grapeseed oil contains 60-120mg of vitamin E per 100g, making it a significant source of vitamin E and OPC’s. OPC’s are now a well-known antioxidant and studies indicate its potency to be 50 to 80 times stronger than Vitamin E.
