Sourcing
Great oil begins before it is pressed.
Before there is an oil, there is a seed, a nut, a harvest and a place where it was grown.
At Oilury, we believe the quality and character of a botanical oil begin with the raw ingredient itself. Variety, origin, growing practices, harvest and freshness all influence the oil it can produce. That’s why we are highly selective about what goes into our press.
Even the most exceptional process can only preserve the quality nature created in the first place.

01
American-grown whenever possible.
Supporting American agriculture is not a marketing statement for us. It is a sourcing decision we make even when it costs considerably more — because freshness and details matter. Whenever the ingredient and quality we require are available in the United States, we choose American-grown over less expensive imported alternatives.
Here in California, that connection becomes personal. Whenever possible, we visit the farms, meet the farmers and see firsthand where our ingredients are grown. We care about how they are cultivated, the growing practices behind them, their harvest, freshness and condition. For us, knowing more about what we press is worth more than simply finding the lowest-priced ingredient.
02
Variety matters.
03
One ingredient. Nothing to hide.
04
Nature doesn’t make every harvest identical.
