Description
We present natural unrefined milk thistle carrier oil for foods, which is obtained from the seeds of the plant with the botanical name Silybum marianum. The product is available under the name Thistle Natural Unrefined Carrier Oil. The species belongs to the family Asteraceae, whose old name Compositae comes from the arrangement of the inflorescence with ray flowers around the edge and tubular flowers in the middle. Only mature seeds are used for extraction. Their pale shell explains the pale colour range of the liquid, which goes from colourless to light yellow. The tone depends directly on the part used and remains subdued, without saturated shades throughout the volume of the product. Cold pressing separates the liquid mechanically as the pressure acts on the seeds without any external heating. The mechanical route keeps the olfactory profile clean and leaves the grassy line unchanged to the finished product. The fragrance has a light grassy base and delicate notes in the background. The strength of the fragrance is kept within the soft and airy confines of the entire profile. The consistency remains liquid and fluid. Crops are grown in Bulgaria on fields with a natural farming regime, which excludes synthetic fertilizers and all detergents. Such a regime predetermines the purity of the finished composition, which is why the final liquid remains without preservatives and without colourants. The composition is completely natural in its finished form. Also, processing without refining keeps the seed ingredients close to their original state. The pale colour range and the soft fragrance come to the fore together, while the delicate notes remain in the background of the overall olfactory profile. Milk thistle oil retains its herbaceous base. The liquid reaches the finished form pale, fluid and with a mild grassy fragrance.

Application
Milk thistle oil is included in a wide range of recipes requiring a natural fat base with a rich nutritional profile. It is used as an ingredient in cold salad dressings, sauces and marinades, where it enriches the taste and adds value without additional heat treatment. It is suitable for inclusion in specialized formulas designed for athletes, people with increased needs for quality fats and followers of a healthy diet. It is used in the production of natural spreads, natural products and functional products enriched with useful fatty acids. In production practice, the oil is added to recipes for cold prepared products, as the unrefined form preserves the natural potential of the raw material in full. It is also suitable for direct intake in small quantities as a supplement to daily food intake. It combines well with herbal extracts, spices and natural flavouring ingredients, making it a preferred choice for artisanal and specialist producers of transparently formulated health products.
