Shout-Outs
SOURCE Shout-Out: Colorado Mills Sunflower Oil

What is "SOURCE Shout-Out?"

In an effort to keep our customers connected to a community of high-quality foods straight from the SOURCE, we bring a feature product to the table, to share with you, each week.  Whether this is a product that you already carry, or something new to consider, this allows us to share the stories behind the sustainable products that we all love and enjoy.  We invite you to share this information among your retail/restaurant teams, and with your customers, so that together we can trace the path of where our food is coming from.  Thank you for playing such an integral role in our food system.

 

May the SOURCE be with YOU!

Sunflower Oil

from Colorado Mills

Colorado Mills has been in business since 1999 with their Animal Feed and Grain Division and expanded their market presence with a Sunflower Oil Division established in 2006.
Located in Lamar, in South East Colorado, Colorado Mills produces a total Colorado sunflower oil product from processing to label.    

  

Made from 100% Non-GMO, locally-grown, high oleic sunflower seeds, Colorado Mills Sunflower Oil is extracted in an organic refining process where the full sunflower outer shell and seed are crushed and filtered.  No harmful solvents are used in this process, just sheer force and natural filtration through the earth. Refraining from "winterizing" the oil, natural wax remains present in this sunflower oil.  Leaving the wax to settle, allows the oil to retain 3X's the amount of Vitamin E compared to winterized olive oil. An Omega-9 oil, sunflower oil has many health benefits and is free of trans-fats.  

 

Colorado Mills Sunflower Oil is perfect for frying, sautéing, baking, dressing salads or as a dipping oil.  It's versatility is key, allowing one oil to wear the many hats necessary in your kitchen.     

 

 

 

Colorado Mills Sunflower Oil is light and neutral, which allows the herbs, spices and seasonings you mix in to dominate the palate.  Foods fried in Colorado Mills Sunflower Oil are not greasy, come out crispier, and maintain a lighter batter color. Your foods going into the fryer will maintain their true "food" flavor, allowing you to "taste your food, not your oil!"  The natural high stability of high oleic sunflower oil also enhances product fry-life and shelf-life.

Colorado Mills strives to lead the way in providing the highest quality cooking oil on the market.  They partner with Texas A&M, leaders in food protein research and development, to ensure that their product is always ahead of the industry.

In their zero waste facility, Colorado Mills continues to process sunflower meal byproduct into range cubes for livestock feed.  This allows them to keep true to the roots of how they got started, while moving forward with new innovations.  We're excited to offer Colorado Mills Sunflower Oil in 35 pound totes and in 750 ML glass retail jars. Please join us in this next generation of healthy oils!
