Naturally rich in unsaturated fatty acids

Produced exclusively from Premium Franquette Nuts, Gascony Nut Oil is naturally rich in unsaturated fatty acids, including two essential fatty acids for the body: linoleic acid, Omega 6 for about 60% and alpha-linolenic acid, Omega 3 for about 15%.

The nuts are harvested at the beginning of October and undergo a light drying operation in order to reduce their moisture content to around 12%. This action allows the fruit to preserve all its nutritional and taste qualities.

A concentrate of omega 6
Virgin walnut oil is one of the richest in the Omega 6 range, with a concentration of 50% to 60% linoleic acid.

Wealth in Omega 9 and 3
Virgin walnut oil is also rich in omega 3 and 9 with a composition of omega 3 up to 15% and omega 9 up to 20%.
