Review: Super Oils from Andean Sol
My husband and I have recently taken up a new eating regime, called Bright Line Eating (BLE), to help us be healthier and happier in our bodies. A big part of BLE is eating lots of fresh vegetables and salad for lunch and dinner but with most dressings restricted it can be hard to find ways of livening up food which can be a bit bland.
One thing you are allowed to use on vegetables and salads is oil, so when we were approached by premium superfood brand Andean Sol offering us the chance to try their new Super Oils we were excited to try something new!
Working with farmers in the Andean region of South America, Andean Sol only sells foods produced themselves or sourced directly from local farmers and cooperatives. Andean Sol brings the essence of the mountains to the dining table with the new Extra Virgin Chia Oil and a world first Olive and Chia Oil.
The Olive and Chia Oil is cold pressed to retain maximum level of nutrients, active substances and flavour and is available in 250ml bottles. Chia seeds are an excellent source of Omega 3, which most of us aren’t getting enough of due to relying on unhealthy foods and has a mild, peppery taste which works really well with the sumptuous high-quality olive oil.
The Extra Virgin Chia Oil, available in 100ml bottles, is made from the finest chia seeds grown in the foothills of the Andes creating a light nutty flavoured oil which is perfect for drizzling over a salad or vegetables. Again, this oil is made up of roughly 64% omega-3 fatty acids, the highest of any known plant-based sources, which makes it perfect for boosting health.
Andean Sol is passionate about traceability and each of their products comes with a unique code you can enter onto their website where you can learn where the product has come from, the process and who has worked on it.
We have really enjoyed using both of the oils on our veggies and salad but I have to admit the combination of Chia and Olive oil is my favourite. It is obvious that both of the oils are quality products and that the brand really cares about the people producing them.
I am happy to award Super Oils from Andean Sol 5 out of 5 stars.
