Cavalier Wool Scourers CEO Nigel Hales with a sample from a batch of exported wool grease and below, New Zealand wool grease in production.
New Zealand wool grease earns the economy up to $30 million dollars a year. Because our sheep eat lush green grass, wool grease produced here differs in its chemical make up to other types of wool grease globally. Wool grease is used in cosmetics, to rust proof military machinery, to feed fish, and in medicines.
