OUR STORY
Hello, I’m Oksana, the founder and owner of Live Oil by Lesna, an oil mill that specializes in producing organic, raw cold-pressed oils using wooden press barrels.
I want to share my philosophy of creating oils ourselves. This idea came up after my numerous unsuccessful attempts to find truly pure and delicious oil in the current US market. I understand that oil is as crucial for our cellular health as water. Moreover, only the oil, extracted naturally while adhering to clean technology practices, can serve as a powerful remedy for our bodies and enhance our health.
After my first child was born, I faced a challenge when he naturally began to reduce eating animal proteins like meat and fish. I realized I needed to find alternatives to ensure his diet remained nutritionally rich. I understood that incorporating plant protein into our meals required oils that are extracted properly, without heat and without any metal contact. Despite my exhaustive search, I couldn’t find a good quality oils to include in our family’s daily diet. This led me to ask my husband to set up a unique method in our garage, where we began crushing nuts and seeds into what we affectionately call “liquid gold.”
Our passion for this process inspired us to expand our oil production to a level where others could also experience its benefits and enjoy it.
As a family-owned food craft facility, we prioritize working with only the finest ingredients and trusted suppliers who meet our high standards. Every product that leaves our facility is produced, bottled, and sold by us, ensuring that our customers receive fresh, delicious and top notch quality products at their family tables.
Our enthusiasm is always fueled by the family and provides new sources of inspiration. Responsibility, a serious approach to business and love for people and nature are the priorities to us!
With Love to humanity,
Oksana Taratula
Founder/Owner at Live Oil by Lesna

HOW WE SQUEZE OUR OILS
The Live Oils method of extraction at our mill totally eliminates the contact to any metal surface at all the stages of production. In a view of the fact that using metallic presses to produce oil causes them to oxidize destroying their nutritional value and making them taste incredibly bitter, at Live Oil by Lesna we only use Wooden-Press Barrels which prevents oxidation and rancidity of the oil. We do not crush or grind our nuts and seeds before pressing but squeeze them whole and raw not to break their live structure on molecular level. To ensure that our customers consume only natural, fresh and live products, we never use or add heat, chemicals, preservatives or additives which respectively allows us to completely preserve active vitamin and mineral complex in our Oils. Thanks to Our Unique Method we proudly call and label our exclusive oils as “Live Oil”.
To begin our unique process, we place 2-4 pounds of only our freshest whole organic nuts and seeds inside a custom 1-gallon wooden press barrel. We then gently apply anywhere between 5 to 33 tons of even pressure at room temperature to effectively preserve all valuable nutrients and health benefits the carry within. With gratitude we then patiently wait between 2-4 hours for the “liquid gold” to drip and fill each single bottle.
The time between squeezing the oil and sending it to the Customer is reduced to a minimum. It’s simple: you place an order – we squeeze the oil and send it to you! That’s why our oils are always at the peak of freshness, bursting with flavor and vitality.
Enjoy Our Live Oil unlike anything You’ve ever tasted! Power up Your body and those You love with 100 percent pure real organic cold-pressed oils which are packed with all vital nutrients that human may crave!
