Grapoila vegan mayonnaise

Their vegan mayonnaise with a renewed recipe is a true curiosity, where health and environmental consciousness are equally present, while the taste experience is also outstanding. Our thick, silky-creamy product, with its white color and familiar scent, might be misleading, but it's not a trick: we used neither animal-derived ingredients nor synthetic additives in the recipe. The base of our mayonnaise is our own cold-pressed sunflower oil, to which water, golden flaxseed flour, apple cider vinegar, powdered sugar, salt, and concentrated lemon juice are added – in optimal proportions. These, among other things, ensure thickening and proper acidity.

Producer information

From the very beginning, at the time of the company's foundation, environmental protection was important to them. Along with the idea of producing high-quality, whole foods from natural ingredients, their firm intention was to create value from what others deemed waste. Grape pomace is a waste product of wineries, previously used at most for animal feed, yet they saw the precious, high-quality oil with excellent physiological effects hidden in the grape seeds more than 10 years ago. This first raw material marked the beginning of Grapoila's Zero Waste – i.e., waste-free – production of cold-pressed oils. During Zero Waste production, every part of the incoming raw materials is processed; nothing is discarded. In the case of grape pomace, the grape skin, rich in bioactive substances, is separated from the seeds and ground after drying. The resulting packaged meal can be used to flavor cakes and creams. The seeds are also dried, and then oil is pressed from them – without heat treatment or additives – using their self-developed pressing machines. The cold-pressed oils obtained this way are healthy foods or cosmetic oils with extraordinary nutritional value, which are bottled in dark glass. The sediment formed before filtering the freshly pressed oil is oil sludge, which, like the oil, is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins, but also contains micro-particles of the seeds. This – depending on its nature – is sold as gourmet cream or cosmetic mud.

From the 'dry residue' of oil pressing, the pellet – which is a low-fat and low-carbohydrate, but very rich in plant protein, vitamins, and other nutrients, gluten-free material – they grind seed flours, which are excellent baking additives. The pellet is also very popular among animal feed manufacturers, so it is sold to them for further use. Since they use only natural ingredients, the few by-products that they might not be able to utilize otherwise are dried for feed, potting soil additive, compost, or fuel. The latter, along with any green waste, goes into the biomass boiler that heats the drying system, thus closing the loop. Environmental aspects are also taken into account in the maintenance of the plant. For cleaning, they primarily use air generated by a compressor. For wiping, they rent cleaning cloths from a company that extracts oil from the used cloths, which they then use to heat their laundry, and they receive clean ones back. Parts are cleaned using a bio-washing system containing cleaning microorganisms that biologically break down fats and oils.

With 'Zero Waste' production, they reduce their ecological footprint, are more environmentally conscious, and at the same time, reduce costs.
