Why Businesses Choose Our Flaxseed Range

Whether you’re sourcing bulk Flaxseed Oil, ground flaxseed, flaxseed meal, or flax fibre, our vertically integrated model ensures exceptional quality, reliable supply, and full visibility across every stage of production. We manage the full process - from seed genetics to harvest, processing, and oil extraction, ensuring stable omega profiles and consistent flavour.

Available formats include:

Science-Led Seed Development

Our long-standing research programme focuses on breeding and selecting the best flaxseed varieties for New Zealand’s conditions. This ensures:

  • Strong omega-3 retention
  • Premium flavour characteristics
  • Reliable yields for long-term supply partnerships

Our dedicated team continually evaluates seed lines to ensure the highest nutritional and functional performance.

Cold-Pressed Flaxseed Oil You Can Trust

Flaxseed oil is sensitive to heat and oxygen, so expert handling is essential. Our extraction facility is built specifically for delicate polyunsaturated oils, ensuring:

  • Cold pressing under 40°C
  • Light-free, oxygen-protected extraction
  • Minimal oxidative stress
  • Superior freshness and flavour

This matters for brands looking to differentiate with cleaner flavour, better colour, and extended shelf stability.

Rigorous Quality Assurance & Product Integrity

We maintain some of New Zealand’s strictest quality assurance processes. Every batch of flaxseed and flaxseed oil undergoes independent laboratory testing for food safety, quality markers, and omega stability before production even begins.

Our approach includes:

  • Third-party lab verification
  • Advanced oxidisation monitoring
  • Batch-level traceability from farm to finished goods

True Vertical Integration

From planting the seed to shipping the final product, our flaxseed is produced within a fully controlled chain. This protects authenticity, ensures consistency, and gives our partners confidence in every delivery.

What this means for your business:

  • Secure long-term supply
  • Transparent quality assurance
  • Consistent product performance
  • Compliance with international food regulations
