Napa
Valley Grapeseed Oil Company was founded
by the Pestoni family, whose heritage
in the Napa Valley wine region spans five generations. Our ancestors
came to the Napa Valley in the late 1800’s from northern Italy,
near the Swiss border. Being involved in the grape composting and
wine production businesses for many years, a natural evolution was
the production of Grapeseed Oil.
For
almost a decade we have been making cold-pressed
Grapeseed Oil for healthy cooking. We also make
a Lavender & Citrus Body Oil that is a great
all-over body moisturizer.
Napa Valley Grapeseed
Oil is made from the heart of the grape, the seed. During
harvest, after the pressing of the grapes for wine production, the
pomace (skins, stems and seeds) is gathered and the seeds are separated
out. The seeds are then dried before the oil is pressed from them.
Once the oil is pressed, it is ready for bottling.
We use only a cold-press
(nonsolvent extraction) method to extract the oil from the seed.
During this process, temperatures are kept low to preserve both
the oil’s unique flavor and the valuable nutrients contained
in grapeseed oil. Many mass marketed oils use chemical solvents
in the extraction process.
Lavender Body Oil
Our Grapeseed Body Oil is made with the finest naturally cold pressed
grapeseed oil from the Napa Valley and infused with Lavender,
Grapefruit and Lemon essential oils.
Grapeseed oil is high in
anti-oxidants and vitamin E, a natural skin protector and moisturizer.
Napa Valley Grapeseed Lavender & Citrus
Body Oil is a great all over body moisturizer, including the
eye area. Use it in the bath or as part of your daily skin care
regimen for soft, supple, healthy skin.
