OUR VEGETABLE PRECIOUS OILS

They are obtained from the extraction of the oil of seeds or kernels by pressure or by pummeling.
But first of all, the preparation of seeds or kernels plays a very important role in the quality of the oil. This stage is intended to facilitate the extraction of the oil. Seeds or kernels are sorted out first of all to eliminate those which are damaged. They then undergo a dust removal in order to eliminate every foreign body.
It's divided into 3 steps: the sieving, the brushing and the suction.
There are several processes of pressure which have all a home-made and natural connotation.
This physical process of grinding is made with a mechanical press with 2 screws. The first screw drives the seeds or kernels towards a drilled cylinder and the second allows the grinding.
This oil going through the cylinder is a first cold pressure oil.
