Born in the heart of France’s scenic Loire Valley, La Tourangelle has been perfecting the art of oil-making since 1867. Starting with roasted walnut oil, we’ve expanded to produce all the gourmet oils a sophisticated cook could need. Family-owned and committed to sustainability, our cooking oils are loved by foodies and chefs worldwide. Our recyclable tins protect flavor and extend shelf life, ensuring excellence in every drop. With over 100 industry experts across France and California, our mission is to produce ingredients that are good for the table, community and planet. From our organic extra-virgin olive oils to our specialty infused oils, all our products are made following the same strict adherence to high-quality standards and passion for excellence.
Sustainability as a tradition
At La Tourangelle we are passionate about making good food- we define it as good for the table, community, and planet.
Our artisan legacy makes honoring nature come easily. It is in our genes to revere trees, seeds, kernels, and all of nature because we know that it is the only way to produce high-quality oils.
Solar Powered Unique Oil Making
Our unique oil making operations bring together the best of tradition and modernity. On one side of the plant, we use century old cast iron hydraulic presses and custom made kettles to roast and press nut oils. In the middle, we run a stainless steel-20-short-head cold press to make virgin organic seed oils. On the other, we operate a unique molecular distillation unit to physically refine oils. This highly accurate process involves lightly warming up the oils under tremendous vacuum to remove contaminants and free fatty acids. Free of any chemicals. All that powered by our own 350 KWH solar farm. Pretty cool!
Foundation
La Tourangelle believes that access to good food and good education is the bedrock of healthy community. That is why we dedicated 2% of our profits and 5% of our land in Woodland, Yolo County, CA to community projects that support edible gardens within schools, regenerative agriculture and food banks.
