What does High Oleic Mean?

• High oleic sunflower oils is sunflower oil with a high amount (around 83%) of oleic fatty acid, otherwise known as omega-9 fatty acid. High Oleic sunflower oil is very desirable and linked to numerous health benefits. High oleic sunflower oil is also very stable during heating and as such is great choice for cooking.

Who is the Ferme St-Ours?

• Founded in the 1800s Ferme St-Ours is a 7th-generation family farm that produces organic maple products, eggs and sunflower seeds and oil. The sugar shack has always been an important meeting point for the family. Innovative and committed to a healthy, sustainable environment for future generations, Ferme St-Ours began producing organic eggs in 2000. It also built an organic feed mill on the farm to ensure quality feed for its hens. In 2010, she transitioned her 5,800-tap maple grove to organic production. Since then, they've been constantly striving to improve their working and production methods, for the well-being of the team, birds and trees!
• Since then, they have been concerned with providing products that respect the environment by conserving biodiversity in the maple grove and by ensuring that regional products are integrated into their processing. In addition, they make sure to choose equipment and cleaning products that meet the highest standards in the industry.
• In order to maintain the unique taste of their organic maple syrup, they avoid mixtures, which gives it an authentic taste and allows discerning palates to distinguish the flavors specific to each moment of the production of maple syrup.
