BALTIMORE, MD--(Marketwired - Nov 4, 2013) - Pompeian, a leader and innovator in olive oils, vinegars and cooking wines, is excited to announce the newest addition to its extensive product family -- Pompeian Grapeseed Oil Spray.

With its triple-action use -- drop, stream or spray -- the unique spray can and pouch system allow for flexibility in cooking and total portion control, while helping to protect the oil from sunlight and oxygen, keeping the product fresher for longer.
A light, all-natural cooking spray with a high smoke point, Pompeian Grapeseed Oil Spray is an ideal substitute for other unhealthy cooking sprays or spreads when cooking and baking for your family and friends this holiday season. Made from grapeseeds 100% imported from France, its delicate taste helps to enhance the flavor of food while cooking, whether you are stir-frying, grilling, sautéing or baking.
Knowing that baking will be top of mind this holiday season, Pompeian and Goldman are challenging consumers to better their baking by using the new Grapeseed Oil Spray in their favorite holiday recipes for a chance to better their communities.
