Extraction Process

Wood Pressing Methodology

The cornerstone of the purity and premium quality of CONTES DE FLORE's castor oil is its extraction method. The wood pressing technique, an ancestral process, ensures that the oil retains its vital nutrients and therapeutic properties. This method involves the careful mechanical pressing of castor beans using wooden presses. Unlike modern, high-heat processing, wood pressing preserves the holistic advantages of the oil, offering a purer and more beneficial product.

Benefits of Wood Pressing

1. Nutrient Preservation: Wood pressing retains the vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids inherently present in castor beans.
2. Chemical-Free: Unlike some industrial extraction processes, wood pressing avoids the use of harmful chemicals, ensuring a purely natural product.
3. Cold-Pressed Quality: The low-temperature method keeps the oil from overheating, which can degrade its nutritional value.
