The grapeseed oil Bon Appétit’s cooking-oil guide names: “prized by restaurant chefs for its high smoke point… and its clean, plays-well-with-others taste.” Saveur’s frying-oil guide calls it the best splurge, neutral to 450°F, in a tin that keeps light out.

Spectrum Culinary Grapeseed Oil
Chosen by- Rhoda BooneFood director, Epicurious
Boone’s pick when you want to splurge past canola: a higher smoke point and a cleaner flavor. “It really outshines other oils… able to withstand high heat while maintaining a neutral taste,” and light enough for dressings and marinades.
