Best Mustard Oil Makers in 2020

In historical documents, you can read that among Catherine II's favorite delicacies was mustard oil, supplied from England, where it was produced from the highest varieties of mustard seeds. This situation gave impetus to the beginning of the process of growing blue mustard in the fields of Russia, and then the production of oil.

Mustard history

At the end of the 18th century, by order of the empress, the colony of Sarepta was created in the Saratov province. German immigrants who were invited to develop the Volga lands lived and worked here. It was in these places that gray mustard was bred, which became the best raw material for the production of oil.

Crop seeds obtained from the fields of Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan were supplied to many countries. In the 90s of the last century, the production of plant materials decreased significantly, and this process continued at the beginning of the two thousandth. In recent years, the mustard industry has begun to revive. All producers have united in the "Mustard Union", the purpose of which is the integrated development of production.

The leading regions for growing crops are: Volgograd, Belgorod, Saratov regions and the Republic of Crimea.

Strategic raw materials and benefits for children

Until now, Sarepta mustard is cultivated in the country, most of the harvest is sent abroad. This variety is considered the best in the world for oil production. It has long been considered the standard of purity. This was facilitated by a special production technology: mustard seed was aged for 3 years in barns at a constant temperature, and only then was it processed.

In 1961, mustard oil appeared in the State Reserve as a strategic raw material. Retail sales were reduced to a minimum, it could only be bought in stores in the Volgograd region, and it was considered a “Volga delicacy”.

Today the Sarepta plant in Volgograd is the main and largest producer of high-quality mustard oil in Russia. In 2006 the Russian Ministry of Health included the product in the list of the document "Diet therapy for cardiovascular diseases". In the same years, the Department of Education of the capital approved mustard oil as a source of omega-3 for schoolchildren and toddlers from 1.5 years old in preschool institutions.

In 2018, a line of premium products was launched at the Volgograd enterprise.

Mustard oil is not popular among Russians, it is almost impossible to see it on sale. The unusual aroma was especially appreciated by the French, they are used in salads, soups, added to culinary products, and the natural taste is emphasized in meat and fish dishes.

Also used:

• when canning;
• in bakery and confectionery production;
• in the manufacture of glycerin, cosmetic creams;
• is contained in the formulation of some drugs.

Mustard oil is unique for its long shelf life: it is 3-4 times more than all other vegetable oils. This effect is achieved as a result of obtaining a product by cold pressing at a temperature of 40-50 degrees.Sometimes, for a longer storage period, mustard is added to other vegetable oils.

The only drawback is that only 70% of the raw material is extracted after pressing. The remaining cake is subjected to further processing, resulting in a refined (refined) oil. It does not contain any vitamins, but it is rich in fatty acids.
