Location
Ostro Organics Oils and vegan nut and seed butters are made fresh, in small batches in Victoria B.C.
Crop origin
The origin of the various crops are subject to change, due to harvest short falls, cost of shipping and world demand. Especially with nuts coming from overseas, special focus on unpasteurized nuts, the country of origin changes frequently.
Production steps vegan butters and oils
- The raw oil is being pressed in small batches.
- After pressing the oil sludge settles to the bottom of the oil barrel. (very nutritious)
- The fresh oil is then carefully being decanted then bottled, capped and labeled.
- The oil sludge is being mixed with ground pumpkin seeds to make fresh pumpkin seed butter.
- Followed by bottling, capping and proper labeling.
Cold Pressing Technique
At Ostro Organics we use a modern low-pressure screw press to extract the oil from the nuts and seeds. Focusing on low pressure and low heat extraction. Higher heat means higher yield but also more alteration when it comes to its molecular structure. At Ostro Organics, we press every oil at a different heat point. Ranging from 9° to 29° degrees Celsius.
Ostro Organics presses oils and vegan butters under very low pressure and minimal temperatures. Currently ranging between 9° and 29° Celsius. Resulting in low yield oil extraction, obtaining a yield of roughly 55% depending on the variety of nut and seed.
Higher yields can be easily reached by applying industry standards including more pressure, heat, solvents and adding other agents to the extraction process.
When consuming Ostro Organics sunflower seed butter, tomato, basil and garlic in this pure, fresh, natural and real form, you will NOT be consuming hydrogenated fats or trans fatty acids
