Milk Thistle oil

The oil derived from milk thistle seeds has a fruity and buttery aroma, with a slightly peppery finish. Milk thistle is a classic bitter herb that was long cultivated in monastery gardens as a “liver plant.” Cold-pressed milk thistle oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and has many culinary uses, though it shouldn’t be heated to high temperatures. Perfect for salads and dressings, and in yogurt and smoothies, it’s also ideal for accenting cooked vegetables and for baking cakes.
