Basso blends combinethe benefits of sunflower oil, which is high in unsaturated fatty acids (in average 32% oleic acid and 52% linoleic acid), with the nutritional values of olive oils, (extra virgin olive oil or pomace olive oil) which are rich in micronutrients. These blends also provide antioxidant molecules, notably vitamin E, which is present in sunflower oil at levels four times higher than in extra virgin olive oil.This blend of sunflower oil and pomace olive oil is prepared by combining these two oils in pre-established proportions, with the aim of obtaining a well-balanced blend that maintains the sweet flavor of the two refined oils blended. The use of olive-pomace oil gives the blend a slight hint of olive that confers structure to the finished product.
