Our high-quality macadamia nut oil comes from the growing regions of Africa, where ideal conditions exist for the trees to grow. As soon as the macadamias are ripe, their green shells come off the branches and the nuts fall to the ground over a long period of time. To ensure high quality and keep pests away, the nuts are continuously collected with sweepers and scattered nuts are also picked up by hand.
In the oil mill, the kernels first undergo a conditioning process that prepares them for oil extraction. In addition to the valuable oil, mechanical pressing also produces a protein-rich cake that is used in animal feed or as an additive in food. Natural residues are removed by decanting and multi-stage filtration, both before and after refining. The resulting macadamia nut oil raffinate is used in the cosmetics, food and pharmaceutical industries due to its high degree of purity and wide range of applications.
Once in Germany, the refined organic macadamia nut oil undergoes final analyses to meet our high quality and purity standards. The entire production process is subject to strict organic and social guidelines that ensure both product quality and the protection of the ecosystem.
