Bio Planète Organic Peanut Oil 250ml

Peanut oil from the first cold pressing.

By buying Fair Trade raw materials Bio Planète has been supporting sustainable development in different parts of the world for the last 25 years. This support takes the form of solid commercial partnerships that are based on dialogue, transparency and the respect of human rights. For several years, for example, we’ve been buying organic peanuts in the Shandong region of China. Fair prices agreed with the farmers and purchase guarantees ensure the subsistence of numerous farming families in different villages of the province. In this way Bio Planète and its commercial partner, Naturkost Weber, have not only helped to convert many farmers to organic farming, but have also successfully completed the Fair Trade certification process that was initiated by a cooperative of 58 farmers in 2008. Bio Planète’s Max Havelaar labelled peanut oil not only meets growing consumer demand for fair trade products but also contributes to improving the living and working conditions of the inhabitants of this region. The purchase of school books, the establishment of infrastructure, and the acquisition of better seeds and more suitable tools are tangible examples of the fruit of this ongoing collaboration between the Moog oil mill, Naturkost Weber GmbH and the Max Havelaar Fair Trade organisation. Peanut oil is generally made from roasted peanuts and is then steam treated. Our peanut oil is different: it is 100% natural and 100 % pure. What is more, the peanuts used in our oil undergo an intensive selection process, and we only take in healthy, shelled nuts of the highest quality, which we press as soon as we receive them. We are proud to be able to offer an organic peanut oil that has neither been roasted before pressing nor steamed after pressing. Peanut oil is ideal for dishes prepared in the wok. It has a slight aroma of peanuts and is a wonderful addition to meat, fish and vegetables. Fried potatoes also receive a distinctive note from peanut oil. Peanut oil is one of the few healthy oils suitable for frying and roasting. It is a healthy alternative to traditional frying fat, as it has a significantly higher proportion of fatty acids.
