Safflower oil originates from the kernels of the thistle also known as the safflower plant (Carthamus Tinctorius L.), harvested by man in the Middle Ages to obtain a yellowy-red dye stuff. The exact origin of the plant is not known. Some say that it originates from the mountainous regions of Afghanistan and others are of the opinion that it comes from Arabia. Today, the main growing regions are in India, Mexico and California.
The latest development of the BRÖKELMANN family is a simmering bakery oil specially adapted for modern baking facilities. The BRÖLIO simmering bakery oil is particularly heat stable, whereas the optimal temperature range is between 165°C and 175°C. Anyway an upper heating of oil bakery products is not necessary at all – as misleadingly alleged – as studies of the DGF, as well as practical experiences of bakeries have demonstrated (temperatures of max. 175°C are absolutely adequate!). BRÖLIO simmering bakery oil is free of E900 (antifoam agent silicon) and other synthetic antioxidants as well as free of GTO and trans-fatty acids. Furthermore the oil hardly sprays or foams.
BRÖLIO Mediterrano is marked by the following nutrition physiological and preventative characteristics: As the two individual oils, the mixture only includes a few saturated fatty acids, is extremely rich in simple unsaturated fatty acids, has a moderate but adequate level of Omega-6 polyene acids and is rich in vitamin E. Unlike olive oil, it includes additional Omega-3 fatty acids with an extremely favourable ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 fatty acids and, unlike raps oil, also has bio-active secondary vegetable materials, especially polyphenol. With this composition, the cooking oil mixture ideally satisfies all demands which are made on a cooking oil from a nutrition-physiological and preventative point of view.
Walnut oil is extracted from the nuts of the walnut tree (Juglans regia L.). It grows in the warmer regions of the temperate zone in the Northern Hemisphere and in East Asia. The oil content of the walnut seeds lies between 50-65%. The nuts must be stored for between 2 to 3 months before pressing.
The home of the walnut is probably in the Orient. The severe winters in the Northern regions destroyed the stocks from time to time. Larger stocks are to be found in China, Turkey, Russia and USA (California).
Kindly note that we sell walnut oil only for sales actions to the big retail chains.
