THE STORY BEHIND VILLIERS ETHIOPIAN BLACK SEED OIL
From Ethiopian seed to finished bottle, Villiers is committed to authenticity, purity, cleanliness and careful handling.

1/ Why authenticity matters

Not every black seed oil is the same.

Villiers Black Seed Oil begins with genuine Nigella sativa seeds grown in Ethiopia, a country with a long history of cultivating and using black seed as a traditional food, spice and natural wellness ingredient.

From the origin of the seeds to the way the oil is pressed, stored and bottled, every stage contributes to its quality.

2/ Grown in Ethiopia’s remarkable landscape

Ethiopia is known for its highlands and areas of fertile, mineral-rich soil shaped by historic volcanic activity.

The climate, altitude, soil, seed variety, harvesting conditions and growing region can all influence the natural composition of Nigella sativa seeds. Ethiopian black cumin is also recognised for its considerable genetic and chemical diversity.

This exceptional origin gives Villiers Black Seed Oil its distinctive character, deep colour and naturally strong, aromatic taste.

3/ Pure, clean and carefully produced

Villiers Black Seed Oil is:

100% pure black seed oil
Made from Ethiopian Nigella sativa seeds
Cold-pressed to obtain the natural oil
Free from unnecessary colours and fragrances
Produced without blending it with cheaper carrier oils
Carefully handled to protect its natural quality

Its naturally bold flavour and aroma are part of the authentic character of genuine black seed oil.

4/ Naturally nourishing

Black seed oil naturally contains a complex mixture of valuable plant components, including:

• Linoleic acid — an essential omega-6 fatty acid
• Oleic acid — a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid
• Naturally occurring tocopherols, associated with vitamin E
• Phytosterols
• Phenolic and volatile plant compounds
• Thymoquinone, commonly known as TQ

These components are among the reasons Nigella sativa continues to attract scientific interest worldwide.

Black seed oil should be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle—it is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure disease.

5/ What is thymoquinone?

Thymoquinone, or TQ, is one of the best-known naturally occurring active compounds in Nigella sativa. It has been widely studied for its antioxidant properties and its possible role in supporting the body’s normal inflammatory response.

Research comparing oils of different origins found that the Ethiopian sample had the highest proportion of thymoquinone within its measured volatile compounds.

However, TQ levels naturally vary according to the seed variety, location, harvest, pressing conditions, storage and testing method.

6/ Protected in professional stainless-steel storage

After production, careful storage is essential.

Our oil is held in a professional Sansone 18/10 food-grade stainless-steel container, manufactured in Italy for hygienic storage and dispensing of edible oils.

Stainless steel helps:

• Protect the oil from damaging light
• Reduce exposure to outside contaminants
• Avoid unwanted flavour transfer
• Maintain hygienic storage conditions
• Preserve the oil’s natural freshness and character

The container, lid and dispensing tap are thoroughly cleaned, completely dried and carefully maintained before coming into contact with the oil.

7/ Our premium protective bottle

The quality of the bottle matters just as much as the quality of the oil inside it.

Villiers Black Seed Oil is presented in a premium 100 ml Miron® Violet Glass bottle.

Miron® Violet Glass is a patented biophotonic glass designed to help protect, prolong and revitalise the natural ingredients stored within. This high-quality protective bottle helps shield our pure, virgin cold-pressed black seed oil from harmful light, supporting its freshness and natural quality.

For accurate, hygienic dispensing, the bottle is fitted with a convenient glass dropper.

For the best quality, keep the bottle tightly closed and store it upright in a cool, dry and dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat.

From Ethiopian seed to finished bottle, Villiers is committed to authenticity, purity, cleanliness and careful handling.
