Process
We make oil the way it was made 100 and 200 years ago.
It is a simple mechanical pressing of seeds and nuts.
Of course, technology and materials have changed over time - they are now more modern and.
higher quality.
But the principle remains the same: to produce genuine, living oil that retains all the properties of the
natural properties.
The whole process looks like this:
1. Sprinkle the seeds into a filter cloth bag. Place the bag in a small vase. Place the vat under a hydraulic press.
2. Under high pressure, the press slowly squeezes oil out of the seeds drop by drop.
In such a process:
Equipment and materials used:
- we do not heat seeds or nuts,
- we do not heat the oil,
- the oil does not heat up during the production process - it remains at room temperature.
Why is this important? Especially for linseed, heating causes
polyunsaturated fatty acids and certain vitamins, and the protein structure
alteration (denaturation).
In addition, our oil does not come into contact with metals at any stage of production. This prevents
oxidation, as metal is a catalyst in oxidation processes.
It is thanks to these simple but essential principles that our oil is alive. All
minerals, vitamins and useful nutrients that nature has put into seeds and oil are essential for our oil.
in seeds and nuts are preserved in our oil.
Equipment and materials used:
1. Hydraulic press with a capacity of 54 tonnes. There are 18 presses in production.
2. Barrels for seeds are made of caprolone, a modern inert material. material used in the aerospace industry, medical industry, aerospace and food industries. It does not absorb odours and liquids.
3. Food industry filter fabric
One drum can hold 2 kg of seeds or nuts and the oil pressing takes 4-24 hours.
As you can see, this work requires patience and time.
We will only start pressing the oil once we receive your order. Therefore, every
the customer always specially for him freshly pressed live oil.
