Hemetsberger organic linseed oil

Belongs to the Fitt fats. The body uses these fats to build e.g: Nerve structures that enable nerve impulses to jump unchecked from one synapse to another, important for our senses and emotions. With a ratio of omega-6 fats to omega-3 fats of 1:4, linseed oil is the richest source of omega-3 and tops the list of foods containing alpha-linoleic acid.

The desire to produce and market regional food led the Hemetsberger family to the production of linseed oil and grain. The family consciously wanted to set an example against mass production and runs the farm as a sideline.

Flaxseed oil flavour tip:

Suitable for salads, for refining potatoes, for natural yoghurt with honey and fruit, and much more. Add linseed oil to soups, vegetables and hot dishes just before serving. With lemon or balsamic vinegar, linseed oil makes an ideal, fresh-tasting dressing.

Rapeseed oil Ölmühle Mittermair

Rapeseed oil is one of the most popular edible oils, is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and also has a particularly favourable ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids. It is therefore considered to be extremely healthy.

The Mittermair family farm, also known as z'Brandham in the family name, is run as a sideline and belongs to the municipality of Berg im Attergau. In spring 2016, the family invested in a vegetable oil press, since when linseed oil has also been produced on the farm. In addition to linseed oil, the production of rapeseed oil was also realised. All products can be collected from the farm by telephone appointment.

Rapeseed oil flavour tip:

Virgin rapeseed oil is ideal for salad dressings, tartare and carpaccio. Ideal for dishes that should emphasise the flavour of the ingredients and not mask it.

Cold-pressed vs. refined oils

COLD-PRESSED OILS:

These are also known as native (natural) oils and do not undergo any heat treatment after pressing. Cold-pressed oils are only filtered after pressing and then dried. In short: pure natural!

ATTENTION: Please read the exact instructions for use - many cold-pressed oils should not be heated.

REFINED OILS:

Are treated with solvents for extraction and undergo purification processes, in short refining. The oil is extracted from the raw materials. During refining, valuable vitamins are lost and the solvent must also be removed. The advantage of refining is that the oil has a longer shelf life and can be heated without any problems.
