The prickly pear is a cactus that grows in abundance around the Mediterranean. It produces a precious and rare oil, which should not be confused with the oily macerate of prickly pear, less expensive, but also less active. The oil, extracted by cold pressing from the seeds of the prickly pear, is only found in very small quantities in the seed (5%), hence its high price for a vegetable oil.
