New Zealand Flaxseed Oil for Bulk and Private Label Supply

Midlands flaxseed oil is produced from New Zealand-grown flaxseed and processed through our purpose-built oil extraction facility.

By managing key stages of the supply chain from seed production through to oil extraction and packing, we provide customers with greater traceability, quality control and confidence in every order.

We supply flaxseed oil for manufacturers, distributors and retailers requiring bulk ingredient supply, private label bottling, softgel capsule production and retail-ready formats. Organic flaxseed oil options are also available.

Origin: New Zealand

New Zealand Grown & Processed

This product is grown and processed entirely in New Zealand, using locally sourced crops and production standards you can trust.

Cold-Pressed Flaxseed Oil Produced for Quality and Traceability

Flaxseed oil is naturally rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid. Because flaxseed oil contains high levels of polyunsaturated fats, careful processing and handling are important for maintaining product quality.

Midlands uses cold-pressing methods designed to minimise exposure to excessive heat, light and oxygen during production. This helps preserve flavour, aroma and nutritional characteristics while supporting product consistency.

Our flaxseed is selected for New Zealand growing conditions and processed through a dedicated oil extraction facility, giving customers confidence in quality, traceability and long-term supply capability.

Flaxseed oil can be supplied as a bulk ingredient, private label bottled product or capsule format depending on your requirements.

New Zealand Growing and Crop Expertise

Midlands is one of New Zealand's established flaxseed growers and processors, with experience spanning crop production, oil extraction and international supply. Ongoing investment in research, crop development and growing programmes helps support consistent oil quality and reliable production volumes.

What Makes a High-Quality Flaxseed Oil?

Not all flaxseed oils are produced the same way.

When evaluating flaxseed oil products or suppliers, buyers should consider:

  • Whether the oil is cold-pressed
  • Traceability back to the source crop
  • Management of heat, oxygen and light exposure during production
  • Testing and quality assurance programmes
  • Packaging formats that help minimise oxidation
  • Long-term supply reliability and manufacturing capability
  • Country of origin and supplier transparency

These factors can influence freshness, product stability, shelf life and overall product quality across food, supplement and skincare applications.

Our cold‑pressed flaxseed oil is produced using methods designed to preserve omega‑3 content and minimise oxidation. Learn more about the science behind cold pressing and why it matters for product quality.

We also supply a range of plant-based oils including bulk hemp seed oil for food and supplement applications.

Flaxseed Oil Benefits

Fatty Acid Profile

Flaxseed oil naturally contains a range of fatty acids, including:

  • Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA / Omega 3)
  • Linoleic Acid (LA / Omega 6)
  • Oleic Acid (Omega 9)
  • Palmitic Acid
  • Stearic Acid

As one of the most recognised plant-based sources of omega-3 ALA, flaxseed oil is widely used across food, supplement, skincare and wellness applications.

Flaxseed oil is commonly selected by manufacturers and brands looking for a plant-based ingredient that offers traceability, versatile applications and compatibility across multiple product formats.

Flavour Profile

Mild, slight nutty flavour.

Applications

Flaxseed oil is commonly used across a wide range of industries, including:

  • Dietary supplements and capsules
  • Functional foods and beverages
  • Salad dressings and cold-use food applications
  • Skincare and cosmetic formulations
  • Animal nutrition and pet food products

Its versatility makes it suitable for brands requiring a plant-based omega-3 ingredient in bulk, private label or retail-ready formats.

New Zealand Origin and Traceability

Our cold-pressed flaxseed oil is produced from New Zealand-grown flaxseed and processed through our dedicated oil extraction facility.

By managing production from seed through to oil extraction, Midlands provides traceability throughout the supply chain, supporting quality assurance, consistency and reliable supply.

NB: Refined Flaxseed Oil is an imported option.

Storage and Handling

Because flaxseed oil is naturally high in polyunsaturated fatty acids, it requires careful storage and handling.

Exposure to heat, oxygen and direct sunlight can accelerate oxidation. Appropriate packaging, temperature control and storage conditions help maintain quality throughout the product's shelf life.

Storage recommendations may vary depending on the format and intended application.

Flaxseed Oil FAQ's

Welcome to our FAQ section, where we answer common questions about our oils and superfoods, including applications, product options, packaging formats, quality considerations and bulk supply. Whether you're a food manufacturer, distributor, importer or ingredient buyer, our goal is to provide practical information to support informed sourcing decisions.

What is flaxseed oil good for?

Flaxseed oil is commonly used in dietary supplements, wellness products, functional foods, dressings, skincare formulations and animal nutrition products. Midlands supplies flaxseed oil in bulk, private label and retail-ready formats.

What's the best way to use flaxseed oil?

Flaxseed oil is best used cold. Add it to smoothies, salads, dips, or drizzle on cooked meals after heating. This protects its delicate omega-3 fatty acids. Many brands use bulk flaxseed oil for bottled retail products, supplements, or functional food manufacturing.

What is the difference between flaxseed oil and linseed oil?

Flaxseed oil and linseed oil are derived from the same plant. In food, supplement and wellness markets, the term flaxseed oil is most commonly used. Linseed oil can also refer to industrial applications, so buyers should confirm food-grade suitability when sourcing.

Where can I buy cold-pressed flaxseed oil in New Zealand?

Midlands supplies cold-pressed flaxseed oil produced from New Zealand-grown flaxseed. Options include bulk ingredient supply, private label products, capsules and retail-ready formats.

What should I look for in a high-quality flaxseed oil?

Look for cold-pressed production methods, traceability to source crops, quality assurance programmes, appropriate packaging and a supplier with proven supply capability.

Is flaxseed oil suitable for cooking?

Flaxseed oil is best used cold. It is commonly added to dressings, smoothies and prepared foods after cooking rather than being used for high-temperature cooking.

Do you supply organic flaxseed oil?

Yes. Organic flaxseed oil options are available, including organic unrefined flaxseed oil. Availability may vary depending on format and order requirements.

Can Midlands supply private label flaxseed oil?

Yes. Midlands offers private label bottling and capsule solutions, as well as bulk ingredient supply for customers managing their own packaging.

What bulk packaging options are available?

Bulk flaxseed oil is available in jerry cans, drums and tripaks. Additional packaging options may be available depending on volume and destination requirements.

How should flaxseed oil be stored?

Because flaxseed oil is naturally high in polyunsaturated fatty acids, it should be protected from excessive heat, oxygen and direct sunlight. Appropriate packaging and storage conditions help maintain freshness and support product shelf life.
