How To Store Rosita Extra Virgin Cod Liver Oil

Room temperature. DO NOT refrigerate.

How is the oil extracted from the cod liver?

Rosita Real Foods oils are pure natural premium Extra-Virgin oils. We do not use any heat, pressure or metal containers or treatment in the Rosita Method, and this is very important.

These oils are very delicate and must not be heated, extracted through pressure or exposed to air or metal in the process. The fish and extraction process receive special treatment, with each liver inspected and only the best chosen and placed in a dark, oxygen-free environment.

The oil is naturally released when the cod livers are exposed to temperatures slightly higher than the ocean, and great care is taken to monitor this process to ensure the oils retain their freshness and purity.

Fish liver residuals are separated from the raw oil by use of a decanter and contaminants are removed without the use of heat or chemicals using a patented method and naturally occurring material.

The oil is then placed in cold storage in the absence of oxygen and light, which keeps the oil fresh while it is tested for purity before being bottled.

Why Cod Liver Oil?

As a rich source of omega-3, vitamin A and vitamin D, cod liver oil’s pure fatty nutrients promote skin health, heart health, increase vitamin and mineral absorption and boost the immune system.  This natural wholefood is something that has been part of ancestral diets for centuries and is one of nature’s most desired superfoods.

Rosita Extra Virgin Cod Liver Oil contains a complete range of raw omega fats including omega 3, 4, 6, 7, 9 and 11 fats. It is particularly rich in the long-chain omega-3s (EPA and DHA) which are also known as essential fats because the body cannot make them from scratch.

Our cod liver oil also contains a great natural source of Vitamin A and Vitamin D.
