Virgin Plum Oil cold pressed from d'Agen prune seeds
How plum seed oil, once a niche product, has been transformed into a sophisticated food ingredient that fits all menu segments
Plum seed oil (huile vierge de prune) is a specialty oil from south west France pressed from seeds of d’agen prune plums. Our oil gained recognition after it won the golden prize at the 2002 SIAL Paris International Food Show. Plum oil is used to bring "an accent" to sauces and delicately perfumes vinaigrettes and bakery with an almond like aroma.
