Walnut oil cold pressed
Gustav Heess
The walnut harvest for the production of our cold-pressed walnut oil takes place between the end of August and the end of November in California, where deep and nutrient-rich soils, over 300 days of sunshine a year and consistently mild temperatures provide ideal conditions. Our Caloy production unit in Modesto, California is the world's largest producer of walnut oil. By integrating all production steps from cultivation to processing, our experienced employees ensure consistently high quality to meet growing market demands. Our agricultural experts are in constant contact with the farmers to ensure that only high-quality walnuts are used in our oil production.
In 2016, we started operating our advanced oil mill, equipped with three expeller presses from Germany, which were specially developed for the production of our nut oils. We extract the valuable walnut oil by mechanical pressing without additives and then remove natural residues and suspended matter by filtering to meet our high quality and purity standards. High product quality and guaranteed delivery reliability are our top priorities. Our extensive storage capacities in the USA and Europe ensure reliable and fast delivery at all times.
Quality control is seamless thanks to our 6-stage system:
- By our agricultural engineers in the field
- By our own Caloy laboratory on receipt of the walnuts
- After pressing into oil
- Process controls at each individual refining step
- Final inspection of the oil after refining
- Before delivery to the customer by our officially DIN ISO 17025 accredited Gustav Heess laboratory in Germany

Sustainability & responsibility
We only use real walnuts from California. California has been growing walnuts for more than a century. 99% of all walnuts produced in the USA come from California's fertile plantations. With its deep and nutrient-rich loamy soil and over 300 days of sunshine a year, the Central Valley offers the ideal growing conditions for walnut trees. The Californian walnut industry consists of approximately 4,800 mostly small and medium-sized farms that have been growing walnuts for several generations. We are in constant contact with the walnut growers and maintain long-term supply relationships. Our suppliers are members of the California Walnut Commission. This organization supports the walnut growers in various areas. This includes research, cooperation with universities and training. Two different types of training are offered. The FSMA (Food Safety Modernization Act) Grower Training and the GAP Trainings (Good Agricultural Practices). In these trainings, knowledge about sustainable soil management and the reduction of water consumption is taught.
Waste is minimized by using all by-products of walnut cultivation. In addition to the walnuts, the two by-products shell and skin are used as animal feed and as stable bedding. Due to our strategically chosen production site, the transport distances from the field to the oil mill are particularly short. In addition to this location advantage, we offer fully integrated production under one roof. This means that the entire process from raw material, pressing and refining takes place under one roof and is constantly monitored by our quality control department. Quality also means avoiding and therefore we completely avoid pressing additives during the pressing process.
Many market competitors only ever carry out individual production steps, e.g. only pressing or only refining. Therefore, they are dependent on the preliminary products of outsourced suppliers. We are convinced that for a sustainable and high-quality refined walnut oil, a fully integrated production is required, as this is the only way to guarantee the high oil quality and to protect the environment.
