THE OPPORTUNITY THAT THE MARKET STILL IGNORES

Ferrero buys the hazelnut. Folk Oils presses oil that Ferrero does not.

Virgin hazelnut oil is not the hazelnut oil you know.

Turkey feeds Nutella. Folk Oils extracts something that Ferrero never sought to do, a virgin, identified oil, intended for those who formulate with high standards.

ZERO INTERMEDIATES

From the Black Sea to your formula

Classic trading mixes origins and degrades lipid quality.

Local collectors → exporters → industrial: mixed hazelnuts, stored for months, lipid quality already degraded in the press. Folk Oils contracts directly at the source, pressure upon receipt within days of arrival, without prolonged storage.

From raw material to your B2B batch

Four typical steps for our cold-pressed virgin oils in Morocco: sourcing from identified partners, preparation and control, mechanical extraction without solvent, then direct export with CoA and traceability on request.

  1. Sourcing at source
    Step 01 Partner farmers · contracts

    Sourcing at source

    Raw material purchased directly from identified producers, without a broker: simpler upstream traceability, fairer prices, quality better preserved all the way to the press.

    Intermediaries 0
  2. Preparation and sorting before pressing
    Step 02 Control · homogeneity

    Preparation and sorting before pressing

    Reception, visual checks and preparation: only compliant materials go to the pressing line. This is the first quality lock before your batch.

    Control Batch to batch
  3. First cold mechanical pressing
    Step 03 Folk Oils, press

    First cold mechanical pressing

    Gentle mechanical extraction, without extraction solvent, at controlled temperature to preserve fatty acids, tocopherols and sterols useful for your formulations.

    Solvent 0%
  4. International packaging and delivery
    Step 04 B2B export · logistics

    International packaging and delivery

    From our unit to your site: industrial packaging (IBC, drums, custom-made), export documents and execution monitoring, without opaque chain.
