The history of cod liver oil
The origin of the use of cod liver oil as a food dates back to the Viking Era (late 700s to 1100). Fish and fish liver oil were important parts of the Norse diet. The Vikings consumed most of the fish liver oil during the cold months when the days were shorter and lacked sunlight. And because the winter months were also the prime fishing season, the livers stayed fresh and the oil obtained was also very fresh and of a high quality.
To preserve cod liver oil for use during non-fishing months, the ancient Viking Druids developed a process based on nature’s seasonal changes to extract oil without the use of heat or pressure, while the livers were still fresh. These principles were handed down to a select few from Nordic generation to generation. The oil obtained from this method was stable, pale colored with a slight but pleasant fishy taste. Highly valued for its powers of healing, strength and energy the pure, raw oil was called “Gold of the Ocean” by the Vikings of Northern Norway.
Fish liver oil was and still is an essential part of the Nordic people’s diet as it provides a natural supply of vitamin D during the winter months as well as being a natural source of Vitamin A and a wide spectrum of Omega-3 fatty acids. Using an ancient Nordic method dating back centuries, Rosita have produced one of nature’s purest fish oil. The method is managed with love and respect and based on nature’s principles, captures and preserves the freshness, nutrients and health benefits of the oil.
