The quality of Neem oil varies according to the manufacturing methods. Depending on whether a hot or cold process is used, the quantity of active ingredients differs because, above 60 ° C, the chemical components denature. This is why we prefer a first cold press which allows us to obtain up to 1600 ppm of azadirachtin A against 300 ppm for oils obtained by the hot process.
