Flaxseed oil - fresh to order

Linseed oil in production

The linseed oil we sell is 100% Swiss Made. We exclusively use selected and purified flaxseed from sustainable, controlled Swiss cultivation in Unterkulm, where pesticides are not used. The high-quality raw material is cold-pressed in our facility at a maximum temperature of 29 degrees Celsius to preserve as many of its valuable nutrients as possible.

In order to meet our high quality standards, we do not produce in large quantities in advance, but prepare the oil fresh every week in the quantities needed.This means that our flaxseed oil isn't always available for direct purchase in our shop. If it's not currently available online, please feel free to contact us.

Why should linseed oil be stored fresh and refrigerated?

Omega-3 fatty acids are sensitive to light, oxygen, and heat. Freshly cold-pressed linseed oil is therefore stored refrigerated to best preserve its quality and mild flavor.

I'm following the Budwig diet – is your flaxseed oil suitable for that?

Why is flaxseed oil a good plant-based source of omega-3?

Flaxseed oil contains a high proportion of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid. It is one of the richest plant-based sources of omega-3 and is therefore often included in a health-conscious diet.

Recipe idea for a green smoothie with flaxseed oil

1 ripe banana

2 tablespoons of linseed oil
1 tsp grated ginger
A pinch of turmeric, cinnamon and/or cardamom powder to taste
