Tradition meets modernity: harvest & Manufacturing As a result of our sustainability concept, the beechnuts are only harvested in selected forests. Management is carried out close to nature and according to strict social and ecological standards. The aim of the concept is to preserve the forest as a natural habitat with its function and to secure its existence. Due to gentle and seasonal harvesting methods, the impact on the forest ecosystem is kept as low as possible. Modern, computer-aided forecast models make economical harvesting possible.      After harvesting, the beechnuts are gently dried to preserve all the important nutrients. Using our patented peeling technology, the beechnuts are peeled, sorted and prepared for further processing.      Now the art of the oil miller begins: The products are gently de-oiled using special oil presses. The so-called cold pressing is used here, in which, in contrast to hot pressing, the beechnuts are not heated and therefore, similar to drying, important ingredients are retained.      We do not use filters or even chemical purification. You only have to invest a little time until the oils can be bottled after pressing.      Omega-3 source Our beechnut oils are considered a source of omega-3 (α-linolenic acid) and also have a high content of linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid. Both fatty acids are essential fatty acids and are therefore not produced by the body itself and must be consumed with food. α-Linolenic acid and linoleic acid also contribute to maintaining normal cholesterol levels in the blood. The positive effects can occur with a daily consumption of 2 g of α-linolenic acid and 10 g of linoleic acid.      General information: In order to best preserve the delicate taste and valuable ingredients, our oils should only be heated slightly. At the same time, they should be stored cool and protected from light, as this prevents premature oxidation of the product and preserves the quality of the oil. You store opened oils in the refrigerator and are best used as soon as possible.    Creative usage ideas - quick, easy & delicious: - Basis for preserving flavors (seasoning oils, pickling, confiting) - Make dressings for salads - Enrichment of dishes with unsaturated FA / Omega-3 Ingredients: Beechnut oil, cold pressed* *from sustainable wild collection May contain traces of soy, nuts, sesame, peanuts and lupins.
