We are proud to present our single-origin crop of Organic Regenerative Sunflower Oil. Expeller pressed in our Woodland artisan mill. Organically refined to yield a high-temperature and nature-friendly cooking oil.
REGENERATING THE SYSTEM
This limited-edition sunflower oil is grown from a single crop of sunflowers using regenerative farming techniques. Regenerative farming reverses climate change by rebuilding the soil health and ecosystem. Instead of using pesticides and excessive tilling, regenerative agriculture places a high premium on soil health. La Tourangelle is doing its part to produce the best quality oils that renew our soil instead of depleting it.

The short answer: This product made it to our curated list because it has achieved certification through well-established and respected organizations with its ingredients sourced from regenerative agriculture. FYI: We are currently establishing a way to list non-certified products with transparency about the farm's regenerative practices.
We are passionate about pressing the best oils. Our products are made with virgin oils - rich in flavors & nutrients - always non-GMO and made with care. We define good food as good for the table, the community, and the planet.
Our natural products are crafted locally in Woodland, California and Saumur, France using traditional practices. When importing oils from overseas, we carefully select like-minded oil makers and always pack the oil ourselves. We operate two world-class oil laboratories equipped with the most sophisticated testing protocols to ensure oil quality and authenticity.
From sourcing the best quality ingredients to small-batch production, our products are rooted in artisan know-how. We believe in making products that are authentic, delicious, and sustainable. Through regenerative farming, artisan production methods, and recyclable packaging, we want to empower people to cook like they care.
Regenerative Organic Certified® is a revolutionary new certification for food, apparel, and personal care ingredients. Regenerative Organic Certified® farms and products meet the highest standards in the world for soil health, animal welfare, and farmworker fairness.
With regenerative organic agriculture, we can rehabilitate soil, respect animal welfare, and improve the lives of farmers. We can sequester carbon, build healthier communities, and reap more nutritious and abundant yields.
In practice, regenerative organic agriculture can look like cover cropping, crop rotation, low- to no-till, compost, and zero use of persistent chemical pesticides and fertilizers.
All Regenerative Organic Certified® products and farms must also meet the requirements of the USDA Organic Certification.
The USDA organic regulations describe organic agriculture as the application of a set of cultural, biological, and mechanical practices that support the cycling of on-farm resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity. These include maintaining or enhancing soil and water quality; conserving wetlands, woodlands, and wildlife; and avoiding the use of synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, and genetic engineering.
Organic producers use natural processes and materials when developing farming systems—these contribute to soil, crop, and livestock nutrition, pest and weed management, attainment of production goals, and conservation of biological diversity.
Non-GMO means a product was produced without genetic engineering and its ingredients are not derived from GMOs. Non-GMO Project Verified additionally means that a product is compliant with the Non-GMO Project Standard, which includes stringent provisions for testing, traceability, and segregation. Only Non-GMO Project Verified products are allowed to use the verification mark. Importantly, the mark includes the Project’s URL, where consumers can look up the Standard to better understand what it means.
A verified non-GMO system supports organic and regenerative agriculture by reducing contamination pressure and protecting the supply of non-GMO seed.
We want to make sure that all products listed here align with our community's values. We do our best, but need help from you if you feel that there is something that we should be aware of about their regen ag practices, sources, supply chains, etc.
