Grape seed oil is rich in Vitamin E, a strong anti-oxidant, and has one of the lowest levels of saturated fat. It is also rich in Linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid that the body needs but does not produce on its own.
According to the Harvard School of Public Health, linoleic acid is a healthy fatty acid that plays a special role in support of heart health. Randomized clinical trials have shown that replacing saturated fat with linoleic acid reduces total and LDL cholesterol. There is also some evidence that linoleic acid improves insulin sensitivity and blood pressure.
Cold Press Extraction
To ensure the highest quality oil, we utilize a cold press extraction process which helps to retain antioxidants that otherwise be harmed if exposed to heat. Grape seed oil is high in vitamin-e, an antioxidant, which has inflammatory and healing properties.
- Our oils are cold pressed, which is the most natural and purest process for yielding quality oil.
- Our seeds are not pre-heated and we do not use solvents to extract the oil from the seed. The result is extra virgin cold pressed seed oil.
- We export to various countries around the world every year and are a certified manufacturer of organic oils under the European Union and USA (NOP) standards.
What Makes Our Grape Seed Extract So Good?
We at Organically Africa pride ourselves on producing only the finest ingredients. We work diligently to ensure the highest standards are upheld during the entire lifecycle; from our community farmers and harvesters through processing and finally to your food product.
- South Africa’s grape vines are of the healthiest in the world – we use less pesticides than other countries and our grapes are free of genetically modified organisms (GMO-free).
- As we extract the oil from the grape seed using cold pressing rather than chemical extraction, the seed is not preheated and the natural goodness is preserved.
- The virgin oil is cooled to freezing point so that the esters (responsible for the smell and taste of the oil) crystallise and is then naturally filtered from the oil.
- The result is extra virgin cold pressed grape seed oil – natural goodness at its best!
