Lesieur Cœur de Tournesol sunflower oil

Lesieur Cœur de Tournesol is a flagship cooking oil brand under the Lesieur label, a company with deep French roots. Founded in 1908 by Georges Lesieur in Lille, the brand has become a staple in French kitchens. The product shown explicitly features the "Cultivé et Produit en France" (Grown and Produced in France) label, indicating that the sunflower seeds are harvested and processed within French territory.

Today, Lesieur is a major subsidiary of the Avril Group (formerly Sofiprotéol), an international agro-industrial group based in France. The Avril Group operates as a financial and industrial cooperative for the French vegetable oil and protein industry, ensuring that the brand remains under French ownership and serves as a primary outlet for domestic agricultural production. It is recognized for its commitment to sustainable farming and supporting local French farmers.
