Frequently asked questions
Should I choose liquid oil or capsules?
The liquid provides more EPA and DHA at the recommended dose and suits people who prefer not to swallow capsules. It does need refrigeration and has a fish taste. Capsules are more convenient for travel and keep the oil off your tongue when swallowed. Three capsules are not equivalent to 5 ml of liquid oil.
Is the oil flavoured or fermented?
Neither. It has no added flavouring and is not fermented. Its natural fish taste and smell can vary slightly between batches, as is normal for a natural oil.
How long does one bottle last?
It lasts 30 days at 5 ml daily or 60 days at 2.5 ml. Once opened, use the oil within 3 months and before the best-before date on the bottle.
Can I add another vitamin A or D supplement?
First compare the amounts in all the supplements you take. This oil already contains both vitamins, so their intakes add up. During pregnancy, pay particular attention to how much vitamin A you take; discuss using the oil, and any combination, with a doctor.
Why does the oil thicken or turn cloudy in the fridge?
Some of its naturally occurring fats can solidify at low temperatures. Cloudiness alone is therefore not evidence of spoilage. Keep the oil refrigerated, shake gently before measuring a dose and follow the storage instructions and the best-before date.

Rosita: extra virgin cod liver oil made the old way
Rosita Real Foods is a Norwegian family producer that makes cod liver oil the way it was made before industrial processing. The livers come from wild cod caught in the cold, clear waters off Norway, and the oil is released using traditional methods only, with no heat and no mechanical extraction. That is what allows Rosita to call it extra virgin.
Every batch is independently tested for purity and for the levels of its naturally occurring nutrients. We stock the extra virgin cod liver oil in a 150 ml bottle, the same oil in 90 capsules, and a blend of five wild Scottish seaweeds.
