cold-pressing
Cold-pressing is a method used to extract oil from seeds, nuts, or fruits without applying heat. This technique preserves the natural flavors, nutrients, and aromas of the ingredients, resulting in high-quality oils. Common examples include olive oil and coconut oil, which are often praised for their health benefits.
During the cold-pressing process, the raw materials are mechanically crushed and pressed to release their oils. Since no heat is involved, the oils retain their original properties, making them more nutritious compared to oils extracted using heat or chemical methods. This process is popular in the production of essential oils and juices as well.
