Live in Toronto and interested in local oils other than butter? Here's a few that I recommend trying. Local and organic vegetable oils don't seem to exist in this part of the world; let me know if you find otherwise.
Sunflower Oil
Brand: NuSun (www.FlorAlpFarms.ca)
Grown/Produced in: Mitchell, Ontario (100-200 miles from Toronto)
Cost / Availability: $17 for 1L... available at 4Life Organics
Oil is light coloured and has a medium sunflower seed flavour (uhhhh, duh). From the website, it seems as though the oil is grown/produced locally; sending this question through the company's website elicited no response.
Soybean Oil
Brand: Pristine Gourmet (www.pristinegourmet.com)
Grown/Produced in: Waterford, Ontario (<100 style="font-weight: bold;">
Canola Oil (extra virgin)
Brand: Pristine Gourmet (www.pristinegourmet.com)
Grown/Produced in: Waterford, Ontario (100-200 miles from Toronto, as crop is outsourced from other nearby farms, but processed/packaged in Waterford)
Cost / Availability: $8 for 250mL... available at Culinarium, Fiesta Farms
The most flavourful canola oil you've ever tasted; has a nutty quality to it.
