Cultivation of the Black Cumin Plant

We at alanakacosmetics only use tested and high-quality seeds to produce our premium black cumin oil. Our unfiltered, first-pressed oils are cold-pressed from Ethiopian Nigella Sativa seeds .

The oil is characterized by its smell and taste. It is bitter to peppery and spicy. Pure, cold-pressed black cumin oil contains over 80 percent of important, polyunsaturated fatty acids . The body cannot produce these itself. It increases the activity of important messenger substances and promotes cell respiration.

Gently harvested
Black cumin is harvested around six months after sowing. The plant gradually forms fruit capsules and then dies from below. As soon as the capsules turn brown, the harvest begins. Ripe black cumin seeds shimmer matte black and have a very pleasant scent. The harvest takes place before sunrise so that they are protected from moisture, i.e. the morning dew. The plants are cut in large bundles and then dried on clean cloths, threshed and filled into sacks.

Gently cold-pressed
When the seeds arrive at the oil mill, they are cleaned and then gently cold-pressed. This purely mechanical process takes place without the addition of solvents, so that all valuable ingredients are retained. The gentle screw pressing guarantees that our alanakacosmetics black cumin oil is of the highest quality, unfiltered. This means that all cloudy and suspended matter is contained. These cloudy and suspended matter settle at the bottom and show how high-quality the black cumin oil is.

Our oil is ideal for salads (feta-olive salad), in soups, as a homeopathic remedy for hay fever, allergies, for the skin and against ticks in your dog.

Packed and shipped with love
We press the black cumin seeds regularly so that you always receive fresh black cumin oil. Unlike many other retailers, we do not provide you with stock items, but cold-pressed black cumin oil from the original Nigella Sativa seeds. We pack the black cumin oil in dark bottles and send it on its way to you. The freshness of the unfiltered oil means it has a long shelf life if it is unopened. Once the bottle has been opened, the black cumin oil should be used up within a few months.

The cooking oils are obtained by gentle pressing at 35 to 55 degrees Celsius. No chemical processes are used . Chemical processes include deacidification, bleaching or deodorization.
