Our Oils are extra cold-pressedusing a specially designed, low pressure screw press to extract the oils with as little heat as possible. The less pressure and heat we use the lower the oil yield but thehigher the oil quality.
Ostro Organics Oils arepressed fresh on a weekly basis. We do not carry a huge inventory, we rather press fresh to order. This ensures pure oils rich in naturally occurring nutrients.

Ostro Organics Cold Pressed Oilsmeet the highest standards in quality. When consuming oils for their Omega 3 or 6 we recommend to do so within six months of purchasing. Unprocessed foods will deteriorate over time. The nutritional count in the oil will deteriorate over time. Therefore consume fresh and store refrigerated.

Furthermore focusing in reducing risk of contamination and cross contamination. Ostro Organics offers various nut oils and nut products, pressed on separate days and separate equipment.
Our raw nuts and seeds are of highest snacking quality and untreated, unpasteurized and not bleached. In fact, our seeds are sourced, stored and air dried respectfully to keep the seeds ability to germinate intact. Regular germination tests are being conducted before the raw seeds are being pressed. These germination tests can tell a lot about the quality and age of seeds.
When seeds germinate, they grow sprouts, so sprouting and germinating are the same thing. However we do not sprout our seeds before pressing as this would diminish the oil quality.
Our extra cold-pressed oils are crafted with the utmost care and precision. Any unnecessary processing steps like mechanical filtration are avoided. Instead we let the oil settle naturally thru gravity in our stainless steel barrels resulting in the oil sludge settling on the bottom of the barrel. Then the pure oil can carefully be decanted into the various bottles.
Our fresh oils are typically consumed within six month of purchasing and are not meant for deep-frying. As such, our extra cold-pressed oils are not being refined or chemically treated.
