Our carrier oils are extracted from fruits, grains, nuts and seeds. We choose organic, unrefined, cold pressed or expeller pressed oils because these grades of oils have been mechanically pressed rather than extracted using petrochemical solvents such as heptane or hexane. We particularly favor cold pressed oils since less heat has been used in the extraction process. Heat can destroy the nutritional value of an oil or butter and we don't like to lose any of those precious nutrients! Unrefined oils and butters are stronger in color and scent than refined oils, making them a little trickier to craft with, but we believe the extra effort is well worth it. Tell us your favourite oil, we'd love to know?
