Oil pressed from flax is incredibly rich in both omega 3 and
omega 6 essential fatty acids if it is freshly pressed and unrefined.
These two essential fatty acids are important for immune system
development, digestive support, healthy brain function, soft and
smooth skin, circulatory health, and anti-aging benefits. The evolution
of Flora's highly sophisticated oil pressing plant allows the production
of fresh, cold-pressed flax oil, which is unrefined, non-deodorized
and pressed from certified organically grown flax. During pressing
of this oil, the temperature remains below 40˚C. This gives our oil a
surprisingly delightful, fresh, nutty taste. Because of Flax Oil's superior
nutritional make-up, we recommend it always be used unheated. Flora
fresh pressed flax oil is perishable and should be kept refrigerated
at all times. The pressing and expiry dates are stamped on each bottle
to ensure freshness. The shelf life is six months refrigerated, or one
year frozen.
