Why this is our pick
A freshly cold-pressed organic flax oil from a long-time specialist that protects the oil from heat and light 'from seed to bottle' and ships it fresh. High in ALA omega-3 and a clean, mild taste when fresh: ideal stirred cold into smoothies and dressings.

This is the Fresh Flax Oil (or the unfiltered Lignan version): refrigerate it immediately. Flax oil is highly perishable: it should ship cold and stay refrigerated, so buy a size you can finish in a few weeks and discard it at any fishy or bitter smell. Never heat it.
