The pomace that Caviro Extra collects in large quantities from Caviro Group's member wineries, and from other wineries in various regions of Italy, contains small pips, called grape seed; this contains within it 10-20% of a valuable oil, rich in linoleic acid, with its anti-cholesterol Omega-6 properties.

TECHNICAL DATA

Grape seeds from unfermented white and red grapes, separated by destemming and sieving and then dried in a hot air current.

USES AND APPLICATIONS

Extraction of grapeseed oil, a product appreciated for its qualities that make it excellent in various fields:

1. Food sector
   Its high smoking point (190 - 230°C) makes it extremely suitable for cooking at high temperatures; grapeseed oil, rich in linoleic acid, is believed to reduce the amount of cholesterol in the blood, thanks to the omega 6 fatty acids it contains.
2. Cosmetics
   Due to its linoleic acid content, it potentially aids certain skin processes, having an anti-proliferative and soothing function. In cosmetics, its most highly praised function is as an antioxidant. In fact, grapeseed oil protects the skin not only against ageing, and thus counteracts the visible effects of free radicals, but also against atmospheric agents, sun, sunburn, dry skin, wind and cold.

STORAGE

At room temperature, in a dry place.
