Our story was published in Lietuvos Rytas<\/em>!<\/strong> We have been lucky enough to establish the only rapeseed oil production facility in Lithuania that offers rapeseed oil \u2013 produced locally from locally grown raw materials \u2013 to the country\u2019s major shopping centres, i.e. create a path from our fields directly to your table. Up until now, there have not been any rapeseed oils originating from Lithuania on the shelves of our major retail chains. We invite you to read the article that was published on Lietuvos Rytas<\/em> website and get to know us better!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t This year, EKKO LT has opened a production facility in Zarasai, where they produce the company\u2019s ecologic rapeseed oil. The young company has a clear business vision \u2013 to make completely ecologic products in a sustainable and environment-friendly way. Having started their cooperation with the Lithuanian retail chain Maxima, the producers of ecologic rapeseed oil were quick to find out that the local market is ready for high-quality sustainable food products.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p> \u2018Our oil, cold-pressed from rape plants grown right here in the fields of Lithuania, is as good as any first-class olive oil, and sometimes even better due to its certain unique qualities. Our main focus is on producing 100 percent ecologic products without doing any harm to the environment. Due to this, we follow the strictest oil production standards there are, and use premium cold-pressing technologies that allow us to maintain all valuable qualities of rapeseed oil, its inherent micronutrients and vitamins,\u2019 thrilled to see the Lithuanian oils EKKO and Raudondvaris on the shelves of MAXIMA stores, claims Karolis Trimonis, Head of Business Development at EKKO LT.<\/p>
