Been meaning to try the alfa one range of Rice bran oil products.. but the price and thinking.. well its not dairy, its not canola will it taste weird????? has usually deterred me from buying it...See Rice Bran Oil wikipedia page
The Rice bran oil spread- is now my favorite spread! It doesnt exactly taste like butter.. and it is slightly salty! It passes the toast test! LOL! melts nicely, nice colour. Im wondering if most spreads/butter/marg have hydrogenated oils or not.. as the 'normal' one says it doesnt yet on the light version theres no mention or claim that it doesnt contain hydrogenated oil. I used some when browning some onions, it was quite alright for cooking. :) It also gets soft very quickly when left out of the fridge!
The Rice brain cooking spray- has no weird taste. Sprays clear (im used to the ones spraying white whether it was the cheap no-name ones or the old ww endorsed canola sprays) Not bad... nothing fantastic either.
The brand 'Alfa one' do u think its pronounced 1) 'Alpha one' or 2) 'All for one' hmmm

I'm wondering if these products have a high-smoking point like Peanut Oil (which is what I cook with)? ie. they can withstand high temp's. I just can't stand it when oil starts to smoke.. it then becomes carcinogenic. That's why I struggle to use olive oil in a fry pan (though have still been known to, as long as I don't need that very high heat like when searing things and stir-fries). But from memory.. I thought Rice Bran Oil was one of those that can tolerate high heat?
Very interesting product to review, thanks for that! Does it have any Omega 3 claims or Heart Foundation ticks?
yeh i use rice bran oil, high high burning point means i dont burn things anywhere near as easily.

Thanks for this review. I'm intolerant to soy and can't tolerate cooking sprays due to the soy lecithin used to bind the vegetable oil with the propellant. The white foamy stuff you get from most cooking spray would highlight the presence of this additional ingredient.
That Alfa One rice bran oil spray is the only one I've found to not contain soy at all! It's a great product and a real cooking convenience! A good quality item as well!
