Professional chefs prize this oil for its light neutral flavour, clear colour, thin viscosity, and high smoke point (tolerance for heat). Made with the seeds or pips from grapes, it is a relative newcomer because the technology for extraction has only been developed in the last decade. Superb in the preparation of vinaigrettes and mayonnaise. Balances the richness of other nut oils - walnut, pistachio, pumpkin seed - in the preparation of vinaigrettes for salads. An excellent oil for deep frying, pan frying or sautéing.
