A versatile kitchen essential that’s as sustainable as it is high quality. SESI Highly Oleic Organic Sunflower Oil is rich in omega-9, naturally stable, and perfect for everything from home cooking to professional catering.
This oil is non-hydrogenated and trans fat free, making it a healthier alternative to standard sunflower or vegetable oils. Its high oleic content means it performs brilliantly at high temperatures.
Common uses include everyday cooking, baking, and frying, as well as spray coating oils for cereals, crackers, and dried fruit.
Refilled from reclaimed and cleaned containers, every litre helps reduce packaging waste and supports a closed-loop refill system. Refill and reuse to enjoy a high-quality, organic oil that’s better for you and better for the planet.
Dietary and Lifestyle
Vegan, Organic (Soil Association Certified).
Origin
Produced in Italy, with sunflower seeds sourced from European Union countries, Russia, and Argentina. This sourcing strategy reflects SESI's commitment to supporting farmers across regions, especially in times of geopolitical challenges. They emphasise that such sourcing decisions aim to support farmers directly, rather than penalise them due to political situations.
Storage
Keep in a cool, dark place and ensure the container is tightly closed when not in use. Avoid contamination by using clean, dry utensils. For best quality, use within 6–12 months.

SESI Refills is a UK-based social enterprise founded in Oxfordshire, which supplies sustainable detergents, toiletries and household cleaning products. Originally known as the School Ethical Supplies Initiative, SESI was started in 2006 in a shed at a local primary school.
Their products do not contain harsh or harmful ingredients, including chlorine bleaches, formaldehyde, phosphates, parabens, phthalates, optical brighteners, and other damaging chemicals. Their products are also safe for septic tanks and normal wastewater systems. They are an Ethical Consumer Best Buy with an ethiscore of 95 out of 100.
♻️ Closed Loop supply chain ♻️
SESI employs a closed-loop refill system, meaning that barrels and tubs used for distribution are returned, cleaned, and refilled. This process ensures that there is zero packaging waste from the factory to the consumer. Every time we order SESI products, they are sent to us directly from their factory using their own vehicles, resulting in a greatly reduced carbon footprint. With each delivery, we receive filled bulk bottles (that you fill your own bottles from to take home), which means your refills are truly zero waste!
In addition to cleaning detergents and household products, SESI also supplies food items and olive oil through a refillable supply chain. For example, they partner in a closed-loop supply of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, utilising bulk 20 litre tubs. These broader product offerings increase the impact of refill shopping by enabling more types of goods to be supplied to us through a circular supply chain and helping customers reduce plastic waste across more categories.
Through their refill model, SESI helps customers reduce plastic waste: they have reused or refilled over 5 million pieces of packaging to date.
