What Makes Our Fish Oil So Special?

At Rosita Real Foods we are dedicated to providing quality handcrafted products that have been produced in harmony with nature. Our oils are a sustainable and natural source of pure fatty nutrients that boost your health and consciousness.

Rosita Extra Virgin Cod Liver Oil (EVCLO) is the finest cod liver oil you can buy. It is made exclusively from wild cod sustainably harvested from the pristine waters of Norway.

An exclusive cold-process artisan method extracts the oil and preserves the delicate nutrients that are naturally present in wild cod livers. The resultant oil is as pure and authentic as it was for our Nordic ancestors hundreds of years ago.

Rosita Real Foods provides pure, natural and premium Extra Virgin oils. We do not use any heat, pressure or metal containers or treatment in the Rosita Method, and this is very important. These oils are very delicate and must not be heated, extracted through pressure or exposed to air or metal in the process. The fish and extraction process receive special treatment, with each liver inspected and only the best chosen and placed in a dark, oxygen-free environment. The oil is naturally released when the cod livers are exposed to temperatures slightly higher than the ocean. Great care is taken to monitor this process to ensure the oils retain their freshness and purity.

Product Highlights

ENHANCED IMMUNITY

Extra Virgin Cod Liver Oil is a great natural source of Vitamin D and Omega-3 fatty acids which are known to boost immunity. Vitamin D has been shown to inhibit inflammatory cytokines which cause inflammation.

BRAIN & NERVOUS SYSTEM FUNCTION

EVCLO is rich in long-chain omega-3 essential fatty acids EPA and DHA. These essential fats provide powerful neuroprotective properties - reducing inflammation, promoting new cell formation, helping to build healthy cell membranes and improve nerve transmission.

IMPROVE MENTAL HEALTH & PERFORMANCE

Omega-3 fatty acids found in EVCLO have been shown to improve cognitive function, learning and mental health. There are a number of studies which show that Omega-3s can effectively treat depression and anxiety. Learn more here.

MAINTAIN BONE HEALTH

EVCLO is a great source of natural Vitamin D in the cholecalciferol (D3) form which is highly bioavailable helps maintain the health of your bones and teeth. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with decreased bone density and osteoporosis.

IMPROVE SLEEP QUALITY

EVCLO is a natural source of highly bioavailable Vitamin D. Maintaining good levels of Vitamin D has been shown to improve sleep quality and duration. Regularly getting a good night’s rest is vital for your health and wellbeing.

RHEUMATISM, ACHING JOINTS & MUSCLES

Omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce inflammation in the body and improve stiff joints and muscle pain. The anti-inflammatory properties of Omega-3 can help rheumatism and arthritis symptoms and help ease stiffness in the body.

HIGH SOURCE OF VIT D

EVCLO contains one of nature's best sources of Vitamin D3 in the cholecalciferol form, which is the form of Vitamin D that we make when exposed to sunlight. Vitamin D is essential for strong bones, muscles and overall health.

HEART AND CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

Omega-3 fatty acids may help to lower blood pressure, as well as improve circulation issues such as varicose veins. Long term supplementation of Omega-3 fatty acids has also been shown to have a protective effect for the heart.

EYE HEALTH AND PROTECTION

EVCLO provides a natural source of Vitamin A which is essential to eye health and vision. The long chain omega-3 fatty acids in EVCLO have also been shown to help the cells of the retina and the cornea heal and regenerate.

REGULATE HORMONES

Omega-3 fatty acids may help to regulate hormone balance and estrogen production, and can improve the ratio of Omega-3 fatty acid to Omega-6 fatty acid. Omega-6 is found in vegetable and seed oils which contain phytoestrogens.

SKIN HAIR AND NUTRITION

The Omega-3 fatty acids in EVCLO contain anti-inflammatory properties which may help to alleviate skin conditions. EVCLO also contains naturally occuring Vitamin D, which plays an important role in the health of your skin and hair. Learn more here

PROMOTES NATURAL WEIGHT LOSS

When used in combination with diet and exercise, the long chain Omega-3 fatty acids in EVCLO may help to promote natural weight loss. Studies have shown Omega-3 fatty acids helps attenuate weight gain and reduce body fat.

“As soon as the EVCLO product became available, I ordered some. I noticed right away that it smelled, looked, and tasted fresh. This, together with Rosita’s transparency and third-party testing, was enough to convince me to switch over to EVCLO and begin recommending it to my tribe.”

Chris Kresser, M.S., L.Ac - Author of the New York Times best seller, “Your Personal Paleo Code”

“I’d much rather use a product like Rosita that’s been around for many, many generations with great success.”

Dr. Terry Wahls, MD - Creator of the Wahls Protocol

“When choosing a cod liver oil my family prioritizes sustainability, ethical and traditional production, and good quality in both flavor and nutrition. So, production matters – a lot. Rosita sources their cod livers from fisherman who catch their fish by hook and line, thus minimizing bycatch and other destructive methods of fishing. Further, they source their cod livers from sustainably managed Norwegian fisheries where the cod populations have exploded, seeing pre-WWII stock levels. Ensuring that the cod liver oil is sustainably and ethically produced.”

Jenny McGruther - Author, “The Nourished Kitchen”

“I love Rosita Cod Liver Oil, as the teeth have an inner immune system that’s hungry for vitamins A and D.”

Dr. Steven Lin, DDS - Author, “The Dental Diet”

“For those that follow my work on the Facebook “Magnesium Advocacy Group,” Rosita’s EVCLO is a critical cornerstone of our Root Cause Protocol that is designed to bring our bodies back into balance. When you reflect back on the historical use of nutritional supplements around the globe, there are few that are as legendary, nor as tried and true, as the use of cod liver oil. It was the mainstay for our ancestors’ daily diets — it served them well. They would likely slap us silly now if they saw how twisted and distorted our understanding of this nutrient-dense source of food has become. We are fortunate to have access to such a superior brand of cod liver oil. Again, it’s not just Rosita’s unique processing of this product, but their clear understanding of the VITAL balance of these key nutrients to ensure our optimal metabolism and health. I am excited to use it, and I’m proud to recommend it… We live in an era LOST in “D”ementia! Everyone, and their doctors, are obsessed with their “D”efficiency, and all are jazzed up to get their “D”-minder Apps… MAG me with a spoon!…But NO ONE, except the folks at Rosita it seems, is at ALL concerned with their Vitamin A (Retinol) status. And thank heavens for the discipline and devotion that Rosita has for making a superior form of Cod Liver Oil, and allowing the nutritional TRUTH of MTHR NATURE to shine through: 10X MORE vitamin A (Retinol) than vitamin D (Calcidiol)! And when you drill into the testing, healthy levels of Retinol are (approximately 200 ng/dL) and healthy levels of storage-D have no clinical benefit (greater than 21 ng/dL). Intriguing how the testing supports this critical nutrient ratio found uniquely in Rosita’s Extra Virgin Cod Liver Oil (EVCLO)… Clearly, Mother Nature knows something that we have apparently completely lost sight of, and that is that it takes 10X times more retinol to keep that “hormone-D” in proper check and regulation in our ever-stressed out bodies.”

Morley Robbins - Creator of the Root Cause Protocol

“Vitamin A & D – the good supplement is cod liver oil… I use… the Rosita oil.”

Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, MD - Creator of the Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS) Diet

“(My)… analysis confirmed that the extra virgin cod liver oil from Rosita Real Foods contained all of nature’s healing fatty acids (EPA and DHA) along with a host of naturally occurring micronutrients such as vitamin A and D. Even better, no environmental contaminants or synthetic counterfeits were discovered…. This is the only company on earth that I know of, that’s not butchering or adulterating their cod liver oil for the sake of profits or convenience. And it’s the company I trust to preserve and promote health in my family.”

Shane Ellison, “The People’s Chemist” - Chemist and author, “Over-The-Counter Natural Cures Expanded Edition”

“Rosita is the breakthrough product my clinic and clients needed. It’s fresh, raw, anti-inflammatory and delivers real nutrients in their natural form. Capsules or oil – they’re both simply perfect.”

Beverly Meyer, CCN - Clinical and Holistic Nutritionist

“Rosita Extra Virgin Cod Liver Oil is a truly wild and raw food, artisan produced and of exceptional quality. It is free of synthetic nutrients and contains the potent, naturally occurring biologically active nutrients present in living codfish liver.”

Dr. Ron Schmid, ND - Author,” Primal Nutrition: Paleolithic and Ancestral Diets for Optimal Health and the Untold Story of Milk”

“Cod liver oil is a rich source of Vitamin D3, containing 1,360 IU’s per tablespoon. For quality, it is important to make sure that the company tests for heavy metals. For this reason I find that Rosita’s is the best brand of cod liver oil. “

Ali Anderson, NTP - Founder of Island Health SC, nutritional restaurant consultant

“Extra Virgin Cod Liver oil is a precious commodity and should be treated as such, rationed out as needed and savored for the healing benefits… a bottle of golden, liquid sunshine arrived on my doorstep. It was worth the wait – my kids like its mild, fishy flavor, and I love the great care with which it’s been produced.”

Jaclyn Harwell - The Family that Heals Together

“The best cod liver oil, and the only brand that I recommend, is Rosita EVCLO. Since Rosita EVCLO is not heated for extraction or for the molecular distillation (which is how almost all other cod liver oils are processed to remove impurities) and so Rosita EVCLO is the only raw cod liver oil on the market that I know of. Since it is raw and unheated, all the vitamins are naturally from the fish. No vitamins are stripped away, so nothing synthetic is added.”

Ann Marie Michaels - Cheeseslave

“In my own family, Rosita’s extra virgin cod liver oil (EVCLO) is the cod liver oil that has worked best for us. The kids and I take it straight off a spoon, but my husband prefers to take his EVCLO in capsules. EVCLO’s mild flavor and superb nutrition have made it a win-win. Rosita’s cod liver oil is superior to all others because their ancient-Viking harvesting process uses no heat, pressure, or chemicals.”

Sarah Smith - Nourished and Nurtured Life

“Rosita brand CLO is loved by many for its high quality and milder taste. I’ve known the owners for years and trust them.”

Kelly Moeggenborg - Kelly the Kitchen Kop

“Rosita is a company that I trust and I believe their fishing methods are responsible and sustainable. I love EVCLO for it’s healthy source of omega 3, vitamins D and A that comes from a whole food source. It’s a great alternative for those fish-haters out there. The taste is pure and light and yes it does taste fishy. But wouldn’t you want something coming from fish to taste fishy? That’s how you know it’s the real deal. The other alternative is to eat the whole fish so you make the choice.”

Brittany Barton - Sparkle Kitchen

“The ABC’s of natural treatments for heavy periods… Vitamin A – from liver or cod liver oil preferably. I like Rosita Real Food Cod Liver Oil or Cod Liver Oil Capsules. Vitamin A deficiency has been found in women with menorrhagia and vitamin A supplementation has been shown to reduce heavy periods significantly.”

Nicole Jardim - The Period Girl

“I’m thrilled to lend my support to Rosita. It’s a wonderful product. It has a clean, light taste, NO aftertaste, and it is produced with transparency, by good people, in a manner I can truly support. It’s fresh because it is bottled within 48 hours of the fish being caught in remote (read: clean) waters of Norway. It’s wild. Rosita does their own fishing (know your fisherman!) It’s raw because no heat, chemicals or mechanical processing is used to obtain the oil. Here are the personal benefits I attribute to taking EVCLO: My immune system stayed strong throughout the winter. My keratosis pilaris didn’t return. It often flares in the winter, and it didn’t this year. I had no issue taking EVCLO during pregnancy. The other brand is – well – pungent, and could be difficult for anyone with food aversions to take. There’s hardly any fishy flavor, and none of the odiferousness of the other “fermented” brand.”

Liz Wolfe, NTP, “Real Food Liz” - Best selling author, “Eat the Yolks”

“You want a really high quality cod liver… raw, extra virgin cod liver oil. It’s worth the extra money because the way it’s processed is like “very, very unprocessed.””

Dr. Eric Berg, DC - Best selling author and creator of the Body Type Weight Loss System

"Rosita Extra Virgin Cod Liver Oil is an excellent source of both naturally occurring vitamin A and vitamin D, in levels that work in balance together, and is one of the best sources of immunity supportive nutrition."

Maryana Lishman - "Founder, Raised on Real Food | Integrative Eczema Strategist | Integrative Nutrition Coach"

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT DOES EVCLO LIQUID TASTE LIKE? Our Extra Virgin Cod Liver Oil is a pure natural healthy product which most people find to be mild in taste. Nature determines how fishy it tastes and some batches are stronger than others. Other "standardised oils" go through very industrial manufacturing processes which not only strip out the flavour but also key benefits of taking the oil in the first place. You may choose to wash it down with chilled water or natural juice to get rid of the fishy taste, alternatively you can have it just before a meal. The Rosita method includes a natural filtration process that takes out more of the fishy tasting proteins but retains the array of beneficial fats and the all important natural vitamins. Please remember to give the bottle a gentle shake before use to distribute the different fats that may settle into layers within the bottle - including the rosemary oil which may be unpleasant otherwise.
WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS OF EVCLO?

Rosita Extra Virgin Cod Liver Oil Liquid Ingredients: Wild and raw extra virgin cod liver oil, antioxidants (traces of rosemary oil extract & non-GMO natural mixed tocopherols).

HOW IS THE OIL EXTRACTED FROM THE COD LIVER? Rosita Real Foods oils are pure natural premium Extra-Virgin oils. We do not use any heat, pressure or metal containers or treatment in the Rosita Method, and this is very important. These oils are very delicate and must not be heated, extracted through pressure or exposed to air or metal in the process. The fish and extraction process receive special treatment, with each liver inspected and only the best chosen and placed in a dark, oxygen-free environment. The oil is naturally released when the cod livers are exposed to temperatures slightly higher than the ocean, and great care is taken to monitor this process to ensure the oils retain their freshness and purity. Fish liver residuals are separated from the raw oil by use of a decanter and contaminants are removed without the use of heat or chemicals using a patented method and naturally occurring material. The oil is then placed in cold storage in the absence of oxygen and light, which keeps the oil fresh while it is tested for purity before being bottled.
HOW DO I CHOOSE BETWEEN THE EVCLO LIQUIDS AND EVCLO SOFTGELS? Rosita Real Foods EVCLO a pure and natural healthy fish oil which provides a great range of beneficial fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins. Nature determines how fishy the liquid tastes and we do understand that some people don’t like taking the liquid form. Our EVCLO softgel capsules are well suited to people who need to take their oils on-the-go or want to avoid the fishy taste of the liquid. EVCLO softgels do not require refrigeration and are small in size and coated in 100% fish gelatin softgel capsule, so can be easily swallowed like a pill. They work well for children, or those who don’t have access to refrigeration at the time that they take the oil. We also have customers who like to use the softgels when travelling. The softgels are more expensive per serving however, due to the high cost of production on this item, which is why many of our customers select the liquid oil for everyday use.
DOES EVCLO CONTAIN MERCURY OR OTHER CONTAMINANTS? We test every batch of oil produced for contaminants. At any time you may refer to our testing page for the test results for your particular batch.

Testing is a very important part of our commitment to quality and we conduct independent heavy metals testing including testing for mercury and lead. We also test for organic contaminants including dioxins and PCBs. It is our understanding that no other company tests each and every batch. This is a costly practice however we feel that the consumer has the right to demand the highest quality tested products.

For more information please refer to the detailed test results shown below:

It is produced in small batches from Wild Cod (Gadus morhua) sustainably harvested from the pristine waters of Norway.
IS ROSITA EVCLO SAFE TO USE? Rosita Real Foods Extra Virgin Cod Liver Oil contains the naturally occurring Omega fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins that would be found in a living fish. Every batch of EVCLO is tested for contaminants before being bottled for sale. Independent third party testing has consistently shown that our oils are free of heavy metals and other organic contaminants such as dioxins and PCBs.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF EVCLO? Rosita Real Foods Extra Virgin Cod Liver Oil contains a complete range of raw omega fats including omega 3, 4, 6, 7, 9 and 11 fats. It is particularly rich in the long-chain omega-3s (EPA and DHA) which are also known as essential fats because the body cannot make them from scratch. Our cod liver oil also contains a great natural source of Vitamin A and Vitamin D. It is free from synthetic nutrients and contains all of the potent, naturally occurring biologically active nutrients which make it effective, and in the exact form present in a living codfish liver. For example, vitamin A is predominately in the retinol form and vitamin D is predominately in the cholecalciferol (D3) form. Choosing the natural form over a synthetic version means the nutrients are highly bioavailable and easy to absorb, digest and assimilate in your body.

The concentration of fat-soluble nutrients depends on several biological factors, including the size of the fish and the amount of oil contained in the liver. There are also seasonal variations related to the spawning cycle of the fish, climatic conditions, plankton, and other conditions affecting the codfish. Because Rosita EVCLO is a completely unrefined & unprocessed wholefood, the concentration of nutrients will ALWAYS vary from batch to batch.

The Nutrient Results (fat-soluble vitamins, sterols & fatty acids) shown below represent typical values and ranges which have been obtained from analytical testing at the following institutes:

*Gadoleic acid [which was first noted in cod liver oil] and Cetoleic acid are present in higher amounts in codfish from Northern hemisphere and high latitude waters. These fatty acids are therefore found in higher quantities in genuine cod liver oil originating from the Northern hemisphere.
 
*Cetoleic acid is also usually present in lower proportions than Gadoleic acid.

∆This ratio is a good indicator of genuine Northern hemisphere cod liver oil.

Cod Liver Oil has been tested for purity by leading European institutes and meets all the stringent European requirements.
