cold-pressed oils
Cold-pressed oils are extracted from seeds, nuts, or fruits without the use of heat. This method preserves the natural flavors, nutrients, and aroma of the oil, making it a popular choice for health-conscious consumers. Common examples include olive oil, coconut oil, and almond oil.
The cold-pressing process involves crushing the raw materials and applying pressure to release the oil. Since no heat is used, the oil retains its beneficial properties, such as antioxidants and essential fatty acids. This makes cold-pressed oils a preferred option for cooking, salad dressings, and skincare products.
