The seeds are pressed in a state-of-the-art, low-heat, light-and oxygen-free environment and then bottled in environmentally friendly, light-resistant amber glass to ensure maximum nutritional value and freshness.* This gluten-free unrefined oil contains no GMO material and is processed without hexane extraction in a GMP, Kosher facility in order to control to purity.
