Why We Use High-Oleic Sunflower Oil

At Garchis, we don’t do things halfway. If you’re going to drown your food in spicy, crunchy chaos, it’s only fair we start with an oil that actually deserves to be here. That’s why we use extra virigin, high-oleic cold-pressed sunflower oil — grown, pressed, and perfected right here in Canterbury, New Zealand.

Cold-pressed in Canterbury — fresh, vibrant, local

Our sunflower oil is freshly cold-pressed in Canterbury, retaining its naturally golden colour, clean flavour, and nutrients. No heat. No chemicals. No weird processing. Just pure, local goodness.

A healthier choice (that still tastes ridiculously good)

High-oleic sunflower oil is known for being:

• High in monounsaturated fats

• Low in saturated fats

• Free of trans fats, additives, and chemical processing

So yes, your taste buds get a lil chaos — but your body gets something a little more wholesome.

NZ grown & made from seed to bottle

Our oil comes from GE-free sunflower crops grown in Canterbury and Southland, with Pure Oil New Zealand overseeing every step — from planting to harvest to pressing.
Short supply chain = fresher flavour and better value.

Sustainability built in

Nothing goes to waste. Any by-products from the cold-pressing process are reused, supporting a true zero-waste approach. Good for your food, good for the land.

Long story short:
We choose our high-oleic cold-pressed sunflower oil because it's clean, stable, beautifully golden, locally grown, and simply better. The perfect base for the spicy, crunchy chaos we call Garchis.
