This unfiltered organic black cumin oil is cold-pressed from Egyptian black cumin seeds at the Ölmühle Solling. As the oil is not filtered after the gentle pressing process, it still contains all the valuable yeast and suspended matter. It is also rich in essential oils and fats. Compared to filtered black cumin oil, unfiltered oil is thicker and has a more intense flavour.
Please swirl gently before use to distribute the sediment. Our organic products are natural products which are subject to natural variations in composition. This can affect not only the flavour and aroma but also the colour of the products.
Filtered or unfiltered black seed oil - treasures from Egypt
At Ölmühle Solling, we have been producing mill-fresh black cumin oil from organically grown and fully ripened Egyptian black cumin seeds for over 20 years.
Since this spring we have been offering this Egyptian treasure in unfiltered form. The unfiltered black cumin seed oil has a darker colour and a stronger, slightly pungent taste; the sediment contains valuable substances that are normally filtered out. The essential double unsaturated linoleic acid dominates in black cumin seed oil. The high levels of essential oils, bitter compounds and tannins explain the popularity of black cumin seed oil for a variety of folkloric uses.
Phytochemical Thymoquinone
Thymoquinone is a phytochemical belonging to the group of bioactive substances known as terpenes. Terpenes play an important role in the plant kingdom, fulfilling various functions such as protection against pests, attraction of pollinators and defence against pathogens. Terpenes also contribute to the characteristic scents and flavours of many other plants. For example, they are found in the essential oils of citrus fruits, conifers and flowers such as lavender and rosemary.
Thymoquinone has a characteristic aroma profile often described as spicy, earthy and slightly bitter. It has a strong, aromatic scent that is sometimes compared to a hint of black pepper, oregano or thyme. Our black cumin seed oils currently have a thymoquinone content of 703mg/100g.
