We can offer you the following product as an alternative:
Argan Oil Argan Oil Virgin
For this valuable argan oil, argan nuts are harvested and cracked by hand in Morocco. The unroasted nuts are then cold-pressed fresh from the mill in Morocco. This preserves valuable ingredients and the typical taste of the variety particularly well. The "liquid gold of Morocco" - ideal for hot and cold dishes.
Pumpkin Seed Oil Pumpkin Seed Oil Roasted
Our pumpkin seed oil is a specialty from Styria. It is gently pressed fresh from the mill from mildly roasted pumpkin seeds. The dark green, intensely nutty oil not only enriches salads and soups, but also gives desserts that special something.
Beechnuts

Beech nut oil is a rarity among edible oils. At the Ölmühle Solling it is pressed from local, hand-picked nuts from the wild. Before pressing, the beechnuts are gently roasted for a few minutes, giving the oil an intense, nutty flavour.

The fruit of the copper beech

Beechnuts are the fruit of the copper beech. They are triangular and about 1.5 centimetres in size. The tasty beechnuts are surrounded by a firm, shiny brown shell. Beechnuts have a fat content of up to 40 per cent. They are rich in minerals, zinc and iron. Today, beechnuts are little known as an energy-rich food for humans. During the Second World War they were important for self-sufficiency due to food shortages.

As our beechnut oil is made from wild harvested beechnuts, organic certification of the oil is not possible. Of course, the collected beechnuts are 100% natural.

Beechnut oil

Today, beechnut oil from local forests is considered a real delicacy and is highly prized by gourmets and chefs as an ingredient in salads, mushroom and game dishes. The fine oil also adds a special touch to pasta and potato dishes and enhances winter desserts.

Useing beechnut oil

In fact, the small brown beechnuts can be used in the kitchen as they are. Ground into flour, they make a delicious baking ingredient for sweet and savoury dishes. Eaten whole, beechnuts are delicious in salads, cereals and as a topping for potato dishes.

Incidentally, beech trees only produce oil-bearing beechnuts every three to seven years. If the summer is too dry, the square shells are usually empty and contain no nuts. By producing beechnut oil, we are helping to preserve the copper beech in German forests.

Usage

Beechnut oil is a delicacy and not only enhances salads, mushroom and game dishes, but is also a popular culinary addition to pasta and potato dishes. It also goes well with winter desserts.

Eine seltene Delikatesse, die vielleicht eher noch Urgrosseltern auf dem Lande gekannt haben, oder Leute in Armut. Die Verarbeitung ist sehr zeitaufwändig und nicht viele besitzen eine Ölpresse. Nun werden aber diese teilweise vergessenen Öle wieder angebaut und hergestellt oder von Hand gesammelt. Die professionelle... mehr >>
Verarbeitung ist deshalb vorteilhaft, da die nötigen Geräte aber auch die Erfahrung zur Verfügung stehen. Die Reinheit und die Haltbarkeit sind daher besser.

Ich habe schon seit Jahren versucht, Bucheckernöl zu bekommen, aber bisher war es immer ausverkauft. Bei mir hängt es mit einer Kindheitserinnerung zusammen. Wir haben als Kinder in der schlechten Nachkriegszeit Bucheckern gesucht und daraus Öl mahlen lassen. Ich habe in dem nun gekauften Öl eine Erinnerung an den damaligen... mehr >>
Geschmack gesucht, leider aber nicht befunden. Trotzdem bewerte ich das Öl als sehr gut.
from Monika Schmidhuber at 13.10.2022
Ich habe mich sehr gefreut, dass es wieder Bucheckernöl gibt. Die neuen Flaschen habe ich noch nicht geöffnet, aber ich kann aus meinen vergangenen Käufen sagen: - Es lohnt sich, auch wenn es nicht ganz billig ist - Bevor man über den Preis urteilt, sollte man sich verdeutlichen wieviele Bucheckern für 100 ml Öl... mehr >>
benötigt werden, und dann relativiert sich der Preis sehr schnell.

Der Versuch war es definitiv wert! Gerade im direkten Vergleich zum Walnussöl fällt der besondere und runde nussige Geschmack auf, der deutlich voller und in sich vielfältiger ist als beim Walnussöl. Ein paar Tröpfchen über Salate, Pilze oder auch über Buchweizen. Auch zu süßen nussigen Speisen werde ich es demnächst... mehr >>
mal ausprobieren.
from Volker Schmidt at 08.07.2021
Schmeckt gut, habe es mal für die Mutter gekauft, weil die in ihrer Kindheit noch mit der ganzen Familie Bucheckern gesammelt haben. Ihr schmeckt es auch gut, aber sie würde es von sich aus nicht noch mal kaufen wollen und mir geht es ebenso, dafür ist es dann im Vergleich zum Kokosöl oder dem Leinöl doch zu teuer.

Origin
The triangular fruits of the copper beech are collected and hand-picked for beechnut oil. They are not organically grown, but come from the mixed forests of the Solling and Rhön regions. To make one litre of cold-pressed beechnut oil, we need about 10 kg of fresh, germinable beechnuts. This takes an inexperienced gatherer at least a whole day. After cleaning and drying, there are usually only 8 kg left. During the hand picking process, we take special care to ensure that no moulded beechnuts are included in the pressed material. The cold-pressed beechnut oil is then tested for aflatoxin levels. So far there has been no cause for complaint about the beechnut oil. Because of this, beechnut oil is not as cheap as other organic cold-pressed oils.
