Quality Control

Our Pistacia Vera Seed Oil is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure purity, consistency, and traceability. Each batch is tested against key parameters including organoleptic properties, acid value, peroxide value, and fatty acid profile.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 15-25°C. This oil is easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and is light-sensitive (store away from light). For long-term storage, filling the container headspace with an inert gas such as nitrogen is recommended to preserve stability and prevent rancidity.
