PRIMABENE® Almond Oil BIO is gently pressed from peeled almonds at room temperature. Sweet almonds produce the fatty almond oil, which is free from amygdalin, a cyanogenic glycoside. Our organically grown almond oil is a pale yellow to colorless oil with a mild nutty taste. Since almond oil can become rancid easily, it should be stored in a cool (10°C to 15°C) and dark place.
The main components of almond oil are oleic acid and linoleic acid (over 50%).
