Organic sacha inchi oil cold pressed

Gustav Heess

Our cold-pressed organic oil is produced in Peru, where the indigenous population has been cultivating the fruit of the Sacha Inchi plant, known as "Inca nuts", for centuries. After harvesting, the fruit is traditionally dried in the sun, cleaned and then peeled. A purely mechanical screw press is used to extract the valuable oil, a method that is both effective and gentle. Finally, the raw Sacha Inchi oil is passed through a fine filter to remove particles and natural suspended solids. Final laboratory analyses confirm the purity and quality of our cold-pressed organic Sacha Inchi oil, which is highly valued in the food and cosmetics industry for its high omega-3 content. In line with our commitment to environmental and social responsibility, we work closely with a non-profit cooperative from the Amazon region throughout the production process. This cooperative is focused not only on improving the quality of life of rural growers, but also on promoting reforestation and sustainable farming practices in the Amazon.

Usage

  • Cosmetics

    In the cosmetics industry it can be used especially for the care of inflammatory and dry skin, as well as dry hair, because it is a slow-spreading oil. It helps in regeneration and contributes to the protection of the natural matrix.

    Despite the high content of unsaturated fatty acids the oil is also fortunately relatively stable against oxidation. This is due to the tocopherol (vitamin E) content, which is also very high and whose antioxidant effect ensures a good shelf life.

     

  • Food

    The range of Sacha Inchi Oil cold pressed organic extends from its use as an edible oil of a special kind for cold cooking, e.g. salad dressings, sauces etc., to its use as a component of functional food. It is excellently suited for omega-3 enrichment in food and meals without negatively influencing shelf life or taste.
