For decades, we have been dedicated to the organic cultivation of jojoba in the Arauco desert of Argentina, an area with ideal conditions for sustainable agriculture. The desert, surrounded by two rain-rich mountain ranges, offers sufficient groundwater and the extreme summer temperatures of up to 50°C and winter frosts of below 0°C are crucial for the optimal development of the jojoba plants. Regular irrigation during the summer months is therefore essential.

The growing season starts in August with flowering and leads to the first fruits towards the end of the year, which allow the first harvest forecasts to be made. The harvest period extends from March to April and begins when the fruits change color from green to brown and burst open. The workers are busy all year round with the care and cultivation of new plants. We now cultivate over 500 hectares of jojoba.

Through regular visits, we gain an insight into the expected harvest quality and, together with the growers, set the prices for the seeds, which are based on quality and quantity. These factors ultimately also influence our final price for the jojoba oil. In 2015, a new oil mill was completed to the latest standards. Together with a German plant manufacturer, we developed ultra-modern oil presses for gentle processing of the seeds into virgin jojoba oil. The oil is refined physically, without chemical additives, to remove color and odor, which are undesirable for certain applications and products. The entire production process follows strict ecological and social guidelines that ensure both product quality and the preservation of the ecosystem. After it arrives in Germany, we subject our refined organic jojoba oil to a final laboratory analysis in our DIN ISO 17025 certified laboratory to ensure that it meets our high quality and purity requirements.
