Hardly any oil is as important for natural cosmetics as almond oil. People have valued the skin-conditioning properties of the oil since antiquity. At the same time, almond oil is valued for the preparation and refinement of food as well. Our almond oil is, of course, based on almonds that we have sourced for years from reliable partners in Spain and whose quality we and our customers have long appreciated.
High-quality almonds from Spain
Our almonds come from a region that invites you to linger. Picturesque almond groves spread throughout Spain offer ideal conditions for the almonds to ripen while developing their distinctive flavour in the process. The growing areas are located on very nutrient-rich soils, which, combined with the favourable climate for almond cultivation in Spain, provides the basis for reliably good harvests each year.
In addition to the favourable growing conditions in Spain, our reliable suppliers also contribute to the smooth production of high-quality almond oil. We have worked with our partners in Spain for many years and can therefore be confident that the almonds are grown, harvested and processed organically and sustainably at every stage.
Harvesting and further processing of the almonds
When it is time for the harvest, a shaking goes through the Spanish almond groves. The workers shake the treesuntil all the almonds in their hulls fall from the tree and can then be gathered up from the ground. The collected almonds are then first stored in large silos.
When it comes to further processing, the almonds are first crackedto get at the kernels. These are then sorted, cleaned and blanched. Finally, the almond kernels are carefully packed and exported to us in Germany.
Once they have arrived, the almond kernels are processed by gentle mechanical cold pressing into oil. The result is pale yellow almond oil of high quality, in which the important fatty acids, vitamins and trace elements contained in the almond kernels are largely retained.
