Pure almond oil without additives and great moisturizing contribution for your skin and hair. Suitable for topical and food use.
The almond oil production process is cold-pressed using the artisanal method with the use of sparto mats. Being an oil with neutral organoleptic characteristics, it easily absorbs the benefits of aromatic herbs or other flavoring elements such as essential oils. For example, if we soak the aromatic herbs we have on hand such as rosemary, thyme, lavender, etc., and leave this preparation in a cool, dry place, it will keep for a long time in an airtight container. Also, depending on which aromatic herb aromatic herb you use you use, you can use it as a massage oil or as a dressing for your salads or culinary dishes. It will provide you with the specific properties of the aromatic herbs chosen in addition to those of the almond oil.

These acids help keep the heart healthy and protected against stroke. They also help improve heart health if you already have heart disease.” (Source medline plus).

The regenerative organic almonds that have been pressed for the production of this oil come from the Soil and Landscape Restoration project supported by the Alvelal Association and the Commonland Foundation. Hence the name “regenerative”, which is due to the special practices with which the crops are cared for, which differentiate them from the rest and are reflected in the quality and flavor of the final product. For this reason, we believe it is important that it be reflected in its denomination.
Our farmers were already within the framework of organic farming and since a few years ago, in 2016, adding the knowledge acquired through the training and supervision of the Alvelal Association in regenerative practices. The farmers who formed the Almendrehesa society relied on this differential basis of the application of regenerative practices in their day to day and, thus, produce not only organic almonds, but organic almonds regenerative of soil and landscape.
These practices implemented through the operational group 4 returns son las que aseguran un futuro fértil a las próximas generaciones, las que pretenden y están consiguiendo que los nutrientes del suelo permanezcan y que la biodiversidad genere un ecosistema propio autóctono de la zona. The practices applied are:
- Creation of vegetation cover with native species specially chosen to support that particular soil and its characteristics, within the framework of the ecosystem in which it is located.
- Oasification through the creation of natural ponds for rainwater collection.
- Whales to catch the water near the trees and hold it.
- Only the necessary amount of machining.
- Planting of windbreak hedges to attract pollinators.
- Planting of aromatic herbs.
- Inclusion of bee panels.
- Inclusion of extensive livestock on the farms.
- Inclusion of green manures, pruning shredding and addition to the soil.
- Creation of infiltration ditches.
- Etc.
