Cold press refers to a method of extracting juice or oil from fruits, vegetables, or seeds without using heat. This technique preserves the nutrients and enzymes, resulting in a product that retains more of its natural flavor and health benefits. Cold pressing is commonly used for making juice, olive oil, and nut butters.
In the cold pressing process, the raw materials are crushed and then pressed to extract the liquid. This method contrasts with traditional pressing, which often involves heat that can degrade the quality of the final product. As a result, cold-pressed products are often considered healthier and more flavorful.
