To Insure top quality (no hormones, steroids, isecticides or antibiotics) &＃39;Rolls~Choyce Essentials&＃39; 100% pure highest grade emu oil is processed in north-eastern Australia from Australian emus in government licensed premises. All refining processes are completed without disturbing the natural beneficial properties of the raw oil, unequaled in cleanliness and technology for low-temperature refining compared to the vast majority of processing and refining facilities in the US.Customer satisfaction is our utmost concern, and our 100% pure Australian emu oil is continuously refrigerated at 34 degrees fahrenheit, giving it an indefinite shelf life. NOTE: Emu oil is derived from emus being processed fro their meat and not for their oil. It is a by-product which would simply be wasted had an application not been developed for it.
