The chemical composition of wool fat is not a real fat (no fatty acid glycerol ester), but a mixture of esters of different acids with alcohols. The wool fat is obtained after the sheep are sheared by washing the fat with soap and soda to the desired degree of degreasing (so-called wool laundering), acidification, alkaline emulsification and centrifugation of the raw, liquid wool fat. The raw wool fat is cleaned by repeated remelting and washing out.

We attach great importance to animal welfare and therefore we deliberately avoid mulesing, which is mainly used in Australia. The aim is to prevent the infestation of fly maggots by removing the skin around the tail of the sheep (without anesthesia). Our shepherds do without this painful method and ensure that the sheep can move freely in nature and spend as much time as possible outside instead of being in a shelter.
