Rosita Extra Virgin Cod Liver OilTM liquid is the only raw cod liver oil, bottled fresh in northern Norway. The oil has not been winterized, bleached, deodorized, molecularly distilled or refined in any manner. You will be consuming a raw and wild cod liver oil - just as nature intended. Taste the difference! Shipping: Rosita liquid is shipped without cold packs or dry ice. Please note it is perfectly fine if your bottle arrives warm or hot because each bottle is nitrogen flushed and capped without oxygen. Without oxygen in the bottle, it is impossible for the oil to oxidize and lose its freshness. Taste: Rosita will taste like fresh fish! The added rosemary (antioxidant) can have an assertive woody bite. To help mellow the taste, remove the bottle from the refrigerator and set on the counter for 5 minutes. Then gently shake the bottle before dispensing. Taking Rosita liquid with a bit of Emu Oil on the spoon can help smooth out the taste and adds vitamin K2. Texture: Rosita liquid is a full spectrum fish liver oil. Unlike refined fish oils, Rosita contains many different fatty acids that thicken when refrigerated. When chilled, the stearins, waxes and triglycerides may appear as particles, as a film, cloudy, or thick like gelatin. This is normal for fresh, wild and raw cod liver oil.
