Origin Story
The apricot tree originates from the Armenia/Turkey region. After consuming the sweet orange flesh of the apricot, the kernels in the apricot’s pit, contain the oil.
The Process
Apricot Kernel Oil is cold pressed from apricot kernels. Cold pressing assures that the oil’s nutrients and the antioxidants remain undamaged. The process involves crushing and grinding the kernels under a traditional mill stone or in stainless steel equipment and capturing the resulting oil. The heat created by the process is not high enough to damage the oil. Processing temperature cannot rise above 120 degrees F.
