Grapeseed oil is often used in cooking and has been used for centuries. It primarily comes from Italy, although France and other grape-growing countries create it as well.

The beauty of grapeseed oil is that it can go to a very high level of temperature without beginning to smoke. You can use it at a low temperature on salads, with vinegar. You can use it at a high temperature such as in a stir fry without worrying about any problems.
