Linseed oil

An organic linseed oil, cold-pressed in the heart of the Pyrenees

All our linseed oils are now certified organic: the oilseed flax they come from is grown according to the specifications of organic farming, without synthetic fertilisers or pesticides. This recent certification crowns a standard held from the start: a raw material grown on a specific terroir of Béarn, followed plot by plot and harvested when ripe.

Cold pressing is a purely mechanical process: the seed goes through a screw press, without external heat, without solvent and without refining. From the Béarn plot to the bottle, the supply chain stays short - the flax is pressed a few kilometres from the fields, in the days following the harvest. This short time between harvest and pressing is decisive for an oil so sensitive to oxidation. To discover our signature product, visit the page of our virgin organic linseed oil.

A composition rich in omega-3 ALA

Linseed oil stands out for its content of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the plant-based omega-3, which on its own accounts for nearly half of its fatty acids. Unlike the seed, the oil carries only the fat fraction: it contains neither fibre nor protein. To find the whole seed, turn to our flaxseed or our organic kibbled flaxseed.

Taste, texture and uses in cooking

Fresh, our oil has a golden colour, a fluid texture and a frank hazelnut taste, with a herbaceous hint and a slight bitter finish typical of an unrefined virgin oil. It is to be eaten cold only: cooking oxidises it, browns it and makes it bitter. Drizzled over a salad, raw vegetables, steamed vegetables or a velouté just before serving, or emulsified in a vinaigrette at one third linseed oil to two thirds of a more neutral oil, it brings its roundness to all your dishes.

Once opened, keep the bottle in the refrigerator, away from air and light, and ideally use it within 4 to 6 weeks. That is why we offer it in a 200 ml size: a volume calibrated for regular use, without waste.
