The Wesermühle has been a family business since 2008.
One of the main aims of the Wesermühlen team is to help increase the cultivation of native, traditional oil plants. Camelina (Camelina sativa) is rarely cultivated today, and the seed for the oil comes from Bioland cultivation in Germany. This was reason enough for the Marketinggesellschaft der niedersächsischen Land- und Ernährungswirtschaft e. V. to award this oil the title of "Culinary Ambassador of Lower Saxony 2013". The roasted hazelnut oil, which is also produced at the Wesermühle, was chosen for the second time in 2018.
The Wesermühle is located in the former windmill in the Wulmstorf district of Thedinghausen. After it had stood empty for years and the outbuildings were partly used as storage space, the Wesermühle GbR, an oil mill that has been based nearby for 10 years, found a new home in the imposing building. After a short conversion phase, 6 mills started production at this historic site in 2017. Since then, 15 different certified organic oils and now 12 types of mustard have been produced here from raw materials, some of which are sourced locally. A tour of the production facility is usually possible by prior arrangement.
