Pecan oil mill The Art of Pecan recently finished construction and commenced operations May 13. The new mill produces pure pecan oil for both culinary and skincare purposes, and also has plans to produce other pecan products, such as gluten-free pecan flour. Co-founder Vincent Friedewald said he believes the mill is the first in the world dedicated solely to pecan oil.

The Art of Pecan mill will serve as the headquarters for the brand and will ship products to a number of retailers. The mill will not be open to the public, but visitors may schedule an appointment to view the facility.

The mill is located at 510 Bridle Path, Unit D, Dripping Springs. www.theartofpecan.com
