About Carolina Gold

Carolina Gold Oil is a family-owned & operated business. Our crops are grown and processed in the coastal plains of eastern North Carolina. Britt Farms is in Harrellsville, NC. All of Carolina Gold Oils are extracted through cold pressed methods. Cold pressed oils are unrefined and extracted without the use of hexane and harsh chemicals. Unrefined cooking oils are obtained through pressing and grinding fruit or seeds with the use of heavy granite millstones or modern stainless steel presses. Cold pressed oils retain all of their flavor, aroma, and nutritional value of the seed from which they were pressed. Although there is some heat in the process through friction, the heat must not exceed 120° F for the oil to be considered cold pressed. All of our high oleic oils are pressed from high oleic seeds that are conventionally bred(non-gmo). High oleic oil is any oil that is high in monounsaturated acid. High oleic oil is very stable and has a long shelf life. Baking, sautéing and frying are all ideal uses for high oleic oil's. Benefits of unsaturated fats include a great source of the healthy fats that contribute to our energy and act as excellent lubricants to our digestive tract. Providing protective insulation to our organs as well as allowing for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, E, D & K. In frying, our high oleic oil behaves much like any other vegetable oil. Great to use on salads for a light & nutty dressing. From soil to oil, we hand-craft our entire process.Read their story
