From Seed to Oil: How Canapuglia Hemp Seed Oil Is Made

One tablespoon a day on an empty stomach. This is how Canapuglia Hemp Seed Oil is taken—not as a condiment, but as a daily natural supplement , what nutritionists call a real nutritional vaccine . But what's inside that dark glass bottle? And where exactly did it come from?

In our factory in Monopoli, in At Contrada San Bartolomeo 779 , each bottle is born from a process we directly control: from seed selection to pressing, all the way to packaging. In this article, we'll tell you how it works, what we get, and why it makes all the difference.

Our Production: Cold Pressed in the Heart of Puglia

In the new headquarters of Canapuglia in Monopoli (BA), we have installed a mechanical cold pressing plant Dedicated exclusively to hemp seeds. This means that the entire process—from raw materials to finished products—is under our direct control.

How cold pressing works

The mechanical press works by maintaining the Temperatures below 40°C . This isn't just a technical detail: it's the reason the oil preserves its Omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids, vitamin E, and all its micronutrients. Heat degrades these compounds. Cold temperatures leave them in the bottle exactly as the plant created them.

From seed to oil: the steps of the process

• Selection: 100% Italian hemp seeds, selected at optimal ripeness
• Mechanical cold pressing: press below 40°C, without chemical solvents
• First pressing: unrefined virgin oil, with a golden green color and a nutty flavor
• Bottling: dark anti-UV glass bottle to protect the nutritional properties from light
• Quality control: each batch is traceable and verified

Squeeze the Seed, Waste Nothing: Hemp Cake and Flour

Cold pressing does not only produce oil. The solid residue, called Oilcake is very rich in protein and fiber. And this is where the second transformation comes into play.

The panel is brought to a artisanal mill in Puglia , where it is ground to obtain the Canapuglia Hemp Flour : a natural protein flour with an exceptional nutritional profile, ideal for baking, pasta, sweet and savoury preparations.

If, however, the panel is left intact without grinding, it becomes a natural supplement for zootechnical use, supplement for horses , chickens and aviary birds , rich in proteins and essential fatty acids.

100% Italian Traceability: Why It Really Matters

When we say Made in Puglia It's not just a label. It means we know exactly which Italian farm the seeds come from, what day they were pressed in our Monopoli plant, and which batch is in the bottle you're buying.

This is the concrete advantage of having your own processing plant: short supply chain, total control, consistent quality .

Soon, our processing plant will also be available to local farmers and producers who want to process their hemp seeds without relying on distant facilities. This service will be available throughout Puglia and Italy, helping us grow the industrial hemp supply chain in our country.
