Hello, Irina,
I don't know how to describe the smell, but it definitely has a distinct smell and a bitter taste.?
To know that it's not a bad oil, you can pay attention that the color is not too dark. Flaxseed oil made by heating is dark in color, like brown. A fresh cold-pressed flaxseed oil should be golden yellow.?
I thought maybe it smelled a bit like raw fish.?
Thank you,
