Zoran produces cold-pressed hazelnut oil. His life story and the tough battle with illness, which he ultimately overcame, were the main motivations for him to start growing hazelnuts and producing what he calls a remedy for many diseases.

Zoran shares that his hazelnut orchards are located five kilometers from the city of Struga, in the village of Lozani, on the right side of the Crn Drim River, at an altitude of 700 meters above sea level.

The clean, ecological environment inspired him to take responsibility and start producing something new, unique, and rare in the local market. After conducting several research studies, he and his family decided that the hazelnuts harvested from their orchards could be used to produce hazelnut oil, alongside butter, which became a new challenge for them.

A month ago, they purchased the machinery for production and began writing a new chapter. Zoran explains that the production process is simple, but the most important factor for quality oil is using high-quality hazelnuts.

The process begins by removing the shells and roasting the nuts at a specific temperature. The hazelnuts then go to the press, where they are cold-pressed to extract the high-quality oil, ready for consumption.

The oil is stored in steel bottles without any additives to ensure its longevity and preserve its health benefits, which Zoran says are incredible. These benefits include various vitamins and acids, calcium, magnesium, iron, and other mineral substances, all of which combine to create what he calls the "Elixir for Health."

This cold-pressed oil, rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, has helped reduce the risk of heart disease, lower bad cholesterol, and reduce inflammation. It also contains a significant amount of monounsaturated fats like Omega-9, which improve blood circulation, adds the producer.
