Process
We produce butter as it was produced 100 and 200 years ago.
It is a simple mechanical pressing of seeds and nuts.
Over time, equipment and materials have changed but the goal - to produce organic oil - has remained the same:
The oil is not heated during pressing, it remains at room temperature. In fact, if it is heated above 45 degrees, especially in the
llinad seedsDegradation of polyunsaturated fatty acids and some vitamins, as well as protein coagulation.
(denaturation).the oil does not come into contact with metal anywhere, so it does not oxidise. After all, metal is an oxidative process.
in the catalyst means that it oxidises the oil.
That's why the oil is preserved in the oil has all the health benefits, all the beneficial minerals and vitamins.
In practice, oil is pressed as follows:
1. The seeds are placed in a filter cloth bag and placed in small barrels under a hydraulic press.
2. Under high pressure, the press slowly squeezes oil out of the seeds drop by drop.
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 used in the medical industry. 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 only start pressing the oil after the order has been placed, so the customer is sold freshly pressed oil.
