TV appearance - Bio-based Extraction
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.
Plant-based Omega-3
2021 is the year of the sustainable-minded consumer. As a result, brands are being held more accountable than ever to source their ingredients sustainably and traceably. Because of this, plant-based omegas are becoming very popular and people are turning to Ahiflower® Oil. Ahiflower Oil is a plant-based omega-3 source. This sustainably grown omega-3 source improves people’s wellness in various ways through its unique fatty acid profile.
Ingredients for Plant-Based Foods
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.

The Story Behind Our Organic Rosehip Oil
What is Rosehip Seed Oil?
The rosehips are the fruit of wild roses. Rosehip oil is a seed oil extracted from the ‘hip’ of the rose plant. Rosehip 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.
