I'm quite bummed that the $20 bottle of flax oil from Natural Grocers is rancid, and I'll have to throw it away.? I tried Piping Rock, and it seemed a bit watered down for some reason, but it tasted plenty fresh.? What sources / brands of flax oil do folks recommend?? It's too expensive to throw away!!!? TIA!

Natural Grocers sold you foul oil and won't take it back, Ester? That is a bummer. I used Puritan's Pride, primarily because of the price. It was always good, for like 5 or 6 years, and then I got a bad batch. I contacted them and they refunded my money. I also used Piping Rock, and it was fine but had a different taste and was darker in color. I think the Puritans is golden and the P Rock is pressed from the darker seeds, but that is just an observation.

Hi Ester,
After getting rancid oil from two sources, I decided to try Omega Nutrition. ?I buy the 32 ounce bottles on the subscription basis for the discounted price of $28.79 a bottle. ?They give me notice of a shipment by email so I can postpone it if I don¡¯t need it. ? It has a fresh taste and smell and I am rather picky about that. ?It is more than I want to pay, so I have to adjust my already tight budget. ?I think the price is close to Barleans, but the taste of Barleans oil was getting worse for me. ?I¡¯m very pleased with the Omega oil quality and customer service during the past two years I¡¯ve been ordering from them.?
Best, Marilyn

Unfortunately PP runs out and you cant get it now

I live in the U.K. & use Biona flax seed oil, it¡¯s ?6.50 per bottle, pretty reasonable!
|
Or ?5.20 in Sainsbury's. You can also get Clearspring quite easily.

I used to use Sainsbury¡¯s flaxseed oil but they store it on their shelves which is always above 12 degrees & Budwig says it should be cold stored, their flaxseed oil always tastes terrible & I think it¡¯s because of this reason!

Ours always has a very small stock, so I doubt it is on the shelves for long, and you can't tell how it is stored when you buy online. The only one I have ever had that tasted rancid (and I've been buying it now for over 20 years) came from Holland & Barrett - never again! The Clearspring one that I get directly from them always tastes OK, but then so does the one from our local Sainsburys. When I get Clearspring, I usually get a case of 8 for ?41, plus a few coconut oils to get to ?50 free delivery. The bottle is slightly smaller than the Biona one.

Nobody cold stores/transports flax oil all the way from field to fare. Dr B also preferred glass bottles, but that again is hard to come by in this age. I used Puritan's Pride for nearly the entire time I was active on Budwig and it healed my cancer. I did get one bad batch from PP, but they refunded my money when I made them aware. Piping Rock is another I used. Theirs is darker, which I attributed to pressing the brown seed, and tasted a little different. I preferred the PP, but they would run out on occasion and I would have to substitute.

I bought a gallon of this flaxseed oil off Amazon a few weeks ago and I have been thoroughly impressed with it. Previously I had been using Puritan's pride.? GreenIVe Flax Seed Oil 100% Pure Cold Pressed High Omegas Exclusively on Amazon (128 Fl Oz) https://a.co/d/0bYspZVm

I buy 12 from Ocado, it¡¯s very reasonable & has never tasted bad in all the time since I switched away from Sainsbury¡¯s!

Not that I think it is a major issue, but I don't see any reference to being organic. I didn't use organic cottage cheese, so as I say it may not be a big deal with the oil.
