1. Where do pine nuts
come from?
We are still intrigued by the fact that this is
one of the most common questions asked by our site visitors.
We know that it's hard to believe, but pine nuts
(botanically, they are seeds, not nuts, but we refer to them using
their common name) come from… (surprise!) pine trees. There is
a number of different species in the pine family, and all of them
produce cones containing pine nuts.
Pines grow all over the world, inhabiting vast territories
in North America, Europe, and Asia. Their seeds (nuts) vary in
size, flavor and oil content. An excellent source of information
about different varieties of pine nuts and their many uses is
provided by our good friend Ms. Penny Frazier ("Pinon Penny")
at www.pinenut.com.
Siberian pine nuts come from Siberian pines (Pinus Sibirica)
– beautiful, mighty trees growing in the pristine forests of Russian
Siberia – a remote region of Russia famous for its lush forests,
crystal-clear rivers and lakes, as well as the remarkably vibrant
health of its inhabitants. Because Siberian pines grow in the
most northerly locations compared to all other pines, their nuts
contain record quantities of unique fatty acids and other nutrients
of exceptional value for human health.

2. Are your Extra virgin
pine nut oil, Sea Buckthorn oil, and Gold of pleasure oil 100%
natural?
Yes, they are. We start with the choicest pine nuts,
Sea Buckthorn berries, and Gold of pleasure seeds obtained from
the pristine forests and rolling fields of Siberia, where they
are grown and harvested in full conformity with the USDA Organic
Standards. Our state-of-the-art oil pressing operation uses the
latest technology and the most advanced equipment to make sure
that all the health benefits of our extra virgin oils are brought
to you in their fullest, unadulterated form. We use the no-heat,
“true cold-pressing” technology achieved through unique oil presses
that are made according to traditional Russian designs.
To make sure that you enjoy only the freshest and
healthiest oils available, we use air freight to deliver the fresh-pressed
oils to our bottling facility located in the heart of Northern
Vermont, USA. There, the oils are carefully poured into bottles
and kept in a refrigerated storage facility until ready to ship
to our customers. Although all of our oils are highly resistant
to oxidation due to the presence of natural antioxidants, these
additional precautions ensure that they are delivered to you in
their freshest, most beneficial state.

4. Why is your company
called Siberian Tiger Naturals?
When we first became familiar with the story of
the Siberian tiger (Panthera Tigris Altaica) – a beautiful,
awe-inspiring, and unique creature – we were so impressed and
inspired that we named our company after it.
Siberian tigers are the largest of the living cats. Their average
weight is 500-700 pounds, and the length of their body is 8-10
feet. The record weight for this species is 845 pounds. These
animals can be easily recognized by their remarkable coat, which
is long, dense and very warm.
Siberian tigers are endangered. Once freely roaming
across the Russian Far East, the Koreas and China, they were hunted
to the brink of extinction in the early 1900's. Having recovered
somewhat in the 20th century, the Siberian tiger, once numbering
as many as 2,000, now has an estimated population of only 300
to 400 in the wild.
At present, Russia is the only country in the world
still harboring a significant population of Siberian tigers in
the wild. A system of national parks and wildlife refuges has
been established in Siberia to help the tigers survive and raise
their young.
There is a number of Russian and international
organizations that have developed special programs to help save
the Siberian tiger. All of them need you help and support. We
think that you should know that every purchase of Siberian Tiger
Naturals healing extra virgin oils supports the goal of saving
this magnificent Northern cat from extinction, and bringing its
population to a sustainable level. One of the most well-known
and reputable international organizations working to help the
Siberian Tiger is the World Wildlife
Fund (WWF). It would be really wonderful if all of us could
join forces in this important effort.
