Food safety
Hygiene
Properly clean the Wartmann® nut oil press when you are
finished pressing. Avoid cross-contamination of products,
specifically when you are pressing oils for consumption
after pressing oils that are mend for personal usage. Such
as Argan oil or skin care oils.
Allergies
Always take into consideration that certain persons are
allergic to nuts. Allergies are caused by protein and there-
fore these persons will also be allergic for the press cake.
Cold pressed oil will also contain some protein, therefore
one may not assume that these persons would not be aller-
gic to cold press oil. Always consult your allergist.
Toxic
Bitter almonds contain highly poisonous cyanide; avoid
using those and use the sweet almonds instead. Always
check whether the product that you want to press is suitable
for the intended goal.
