The almond harvest for the production of our cold-pressed organic almond oil takes place during the main harvest season in autumn in California, where a hot, dry Mediterranean climate and a developed water infrastructure create ideal conditions for the cultivation of almond trees. At our Caloy production facility in Modesto, California, which is recognised as the world leader in almond oil production, we monitor the entire production process - from farming to processing. In regular audits, our quality management team checks the cultivation conditions and compliance with our agreements. This enables us to guarantee consistently high quality as well as long-term availability.

Our oil mill, which was commissioned in 2016, uses expeller presses specially developed for us in Germany, which produce high-quality almond oil through gentle mechanical pressing without additives. Multiple filtrations eliminate natural residues in order to fulfil our demanding quality and purity standards.

In contrast to many mills that process different types of oil in universal presses, we specialise exclusively in nut oils to avoid mixing. Our priority is the highest product quality and reliable delivery security. Thanks to our extensive storage capacities in the USA and Europe, we ensure fast and reliable delivery at all times.

Quality control is seamless thanks to our 6-stage system:

1. By our agricultural engineers in the field

2. By our own Caloy laboratory on receipt of the almonds

3. After pressing into oil

4. In-process controls at each individual refining step

5. Final inspection of the oil after refining

6. Before delivery to the customer by our officially DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 accredited Gustav Heess laboratory in Germany

The entire process of producing our cold-pressed organic almond oil is based on compliance with ecological and social standards to ensure the high quality of the product and the health of the ecosystem.
