History -100 years of experience
The history of the Pödör goes back only to 2011 but the story of our press master started as early as 1907. Representing the 4th generation, he carries on the family tradition and the experience, aspiring continuously to preserve all the valuable knowledge while adjusting it to the expectations of our modern age.
About manufacturing
All seeds and nuts are cultivated and bought whole and in pristine condition for Pödör, exclusively in select regions where the raw ingredients grow best. After harvesting they are brought to cold storage immediately and kept there at specific temperatures and humidity levels. Before pressing, the seeds are thoroughly washed. Cold-pressing process is an important factor for ensuring that all the oils retain so many flavour nuances. Pödör works with mechanical oil presses, which slightly warm the ground seeds before the highly experienced press master cold-press them by hand.
Cold-pressing Method
To retain the ingredients and the aromas to the greatest extent possible the raw materials are only slightly warmed before they are pressed. At pressing the oil from olives, linseeds and other raw materials is extracted and filled unfiltered into containers. This is the way to ensure that all the important contents of the oils are retained until they settle.
The result: Oils that make the difference – in taste, aroma, look and of course effect.
