History

Blackberry as one of the strongest plants in the world

Black cumin, also known as black cumin, is a herb with a long history. Recipes or the actual effects related to this "heavenly herb " can be found in the ancient writings of Chinese and Tibetan medicine. By Ayurvedic physicians, black cohosh is even considered one of the most powerful plants in the world.

Black Gold of the Pharaohs

The dark oil extracted from the seeds of this plant was especially valued in ancient Egypt for its beneficial effects. It was an indispensable part of beauty rituals for Cleopatra and Hippocrates himself praised its therapeutic properties. Black cumin oil was thus a literal luxury item, earning it the name Black Gold of the Pharaohs.

Origin and cultivation

Fine black seeds are the raw material for oil production

The black-eyed Susan is an annual herb native to Southeast Asia, where it still thrives today. It grows up to 60 cm tall and blooms showy yellow, pink or light blue flowers. The fruits of the blackberry are large swollen capsules containing tiny black seeds. These are harvested when fully ripe and are the raw material for the production of black cumin oil.

Composition and properties

It is an edible, single-species oil of a thicker consistency, containing mainly unsaturated fatty acids. Thanks to its substances, the oil has a darker colour and a more pronounced aroma, which is its uniqueness.

Cold pressing preserves the maximum amount of beneficial substances in the oil

We adjust the oil pressing process so that the temperature of the pressed oil is close to 42°C during production. This prevents the loss of heat-labile substances and unnecessary deterioration of the resulting oil. The oil is therefore a RAW, cold-pressed oil.

Oil is produced in our production plant

We produce black cumin oil with care and love in our production plant in Ostrava. The seeds are native to India.

Instructions for use

Spicy and slightly spicy taste, which can be used to flavour salads

Black cumin seed oil is typical for its spicy and slightly spicy taste. It is reminiscent of the spice of the same name. It can be used to flavour various types of salads, vegetable or meat dishes. However, in order to preserve all the substances it contains, we recommend serving this oil only with cold or chilled food.
