NHE is a UK based specialist in the extraction of niche market oils from seeds including rosehip, evening primrose, borage and blackcurrant, various types of biomass and other products including wheat germ. 

One of our highlights of 2021 was our TV appearance on Dutch Television RTLZ where we were able to introduce our new – ground-breaking – project focussing on bio-based extraction.

At De Wit Speciality Oils we are constantly looking at ways to innovate in order to supply high-quality vegetable oils that are rich in omega-3 and omega-6. As a leading company in the field of speciality oils, we now also focus on ingredients for plant based foods. We focus on this in order to achieve the best possible fatty acid composition for the oil-blend used for the production of plant based Meat-alternatives and Seafood-alternatives.

Press Release - De Wit Speciality Oils is happy to announce that is has been awarded a European Union grant for the development of the innovative bio-based solvent EcoXtract® as the extract of choice for the global plant oil and protein sector.

What is Rosehip Seed Oil?

Rosehip oil is a seed oil extracted from the ‘hip’ of the rose plant. Rosehip seed oil is mostly used for nutraceutical and cosmeceutical purposes because of its high percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
The majority of our rosehips grow wild and are handpicked in the beautiful highlands of Lesotho, South Africa.
