The main difference between the production of conventional sunflower oil and high-oleic sunflower oil lies in the seed: high-oleic varieties are specially bred for their high content of monounsaturated fatty acids. We harvest our organically grown high-oleic sunflower seeds as soon as the backs of the flower heads turn a yellowish to brownish color and the leaves begin to wilt. After harvesting, the sunflower seeds undergo a cleaning and drying process to achieve the ideal moisture content. The shells are then separated from the kernels in the dehulling process.

The prepared kernels are crushed and undergo a conditioning process that heats them and increases the efficiency of the oil extraction. The oil is then extracted by mechanical pressure at low temperatures and subjected to a careful refining process. The filtered oil is purified several times to ensure a high level of quality and purity. Final laboratory analyses in Leonberg ensure that our oleic acid-rich, refined organic sunflower oil meets the strictest quality and purity requirements. Thanks to a diverse and robust supply chain, we guarantee a reliable supply even under fluctuating climatic conditions.  Our entire production process follows strict ecological and social guidelines, which not only ensure the quality of our product, but also promote environmental protection.
