As a result of careful farming, without excess, and under constant supervision the quality of the oil is garanteed due to the certified quality of the seed. Résistant to illness the seed arrives at matu­rity at the begining of september with a reduced level of humidity (7 to 8%).

Transported to the Domaine des Terriers, the harvest is immediatelv sorted, cleaned and all impurities are extracted. The seeds are conserved in well ventilated silos betvreen 5 and 10°c to avoid any treatment with insec­ticides.

The pressing,avoiding all chemical treat­ment,produces an oil rich in vitamins E (55.8mg pour 100g).These vitamins are recognised as elements which protect cellu­lar membranes and helps the body fight against the oxidisation of fatty acids.
