Grapoila
Virgin Oil Press Ltd.
Cold-pressed oils, flours and seed butters. Made naturally and with full respect for every seed.
More Than a Name
Grapoila is not just a cold-pressed oil producer. It’s a team of people who believe that nature gives everything we need. We just have to respect it.
The company’s journey actually began as a university project. The original idea was to explore how food-grade byproducts from wineries – typically discarded – could be upcycled into valuable grapeseed oil. That simple but powerful concept still defines Grapoila today: turning what others consider waste into something nourishing and precious.
For over 15 years, they’ve been pressing oils, creating plant-based flours, seed butters and cosmetics. Without chemicals, shortcuts or waste. Every part of the plant is used. What’s left after pressing becomes flour, cosmetics, or animal feed. Nothing is thrown away.
Their center is located in Hungary, with facilities in Püspökladány and Szerencs, and headquarters in Budapest. But Grapoila is more than factories. It’s also a living ecosystem: a permaculture garden that shows how plants can grow naturally, support each other and nourish people, without breaking natural cycles.
They don’t just talk about sustainability. They grow it, press it, and bottle it.
History
Grapoila started in Hungary in 2008 with a simple idea: to press oils the natural way, cold, clean and without chemicals.
From the beginning, they found ways to use every part of the seeds. Not just the oil, but also flours, seed butters and natural feed.
As demand grew, they opened a second site, keeping everything close to their first principles: full control, no shortcuts, and zero waste.
In 2017, they planted the first part of their permaculture garden. A place that today shows how nature, food, and work can go hand in hand.
Fifteen years on, Grapoila still moves at its own pace. Still pressing, still reusing, still working with the same respect for the seeds, the soil, and the people who trust them.

Why we work with them
We work with Grapoila because they press, grow, and reuse the right way: honestly, carefully and without cutting corners.
They believe in upcycling, in real sustainability and in food made with care.
And yes, we also work with them for the taste. It’s amazing.
Behind the Scenes
At Grapoila, you don’t need a brochure to understand who they are. You just have to walk through their garden, taste what they make and watch them work.
The founder cooks in the garden, talking about flavors, seeds, and why it matters how food is made.
The factory runs not on speed, but on care. Slow pressing, no chemicals, no waste.
The permaculture garden shows what they believe in: growing things in a way that helps nature, not fights it.
It’s not about words. It’s about work you can see and taste.
