Cold Press Linseed Oil is the precious first pressing of the lin-seeds, which produces pure oil of exceptional silkiness, which will not yellow as much as other linseed oils.

This exceptional, mucilage-free, natural oil can be added in small quantities to oil colour to increase the flow of the paint, as a binding component for oil colours and oil painting mediums, and as a binder for own production of non-white oil colours.

ABOUT SCHMINCKE
Schmincke began at the end of the 19th Century, when the colour chemists Josef Horadam and Hermann Schmincke saw an opportunity to provide the artists of the day with a truly superior artists oil, and so set out to Italy where traditional studio painting was still taught, in search of the nearly forgotten resin oil formulations.
In 1881, at the Academy of Fine Art in Florence, they secured the precision formulations of the Professor Cesare Mussini, a guardian of the old masters techniques, and on these formulations, the two founded their manufacturing establishment under the name H.Schmincke and Co.

In subsequent years, artists colours to suit all techniques were introduced, such as Josef Horadams patent watercolours of 1892. Through the entire 20th century, every generation of owner has lead the company to its current position as one of the worlds leading manufacturers of finest artists colour.
