• Are all cold pressed oils expeller pressed?
  • All oils that are labeled cold pressed fall under the category of expeller pressed oils. However, it is important to note that the converse is not always true¨Cexpeller pressed oils do not universally qualify as cold pressed oils. As a consequence, cold pressed oils can be categorized as a specialized subset of expeller pressed oils.
  • What is the difference between expeller pressed and cold pressed oil extraction?
  • The difference between expeller pressed vs cold pressed oil extraction is that during the latter process, the fruit/nuts/seeds are pressed using either a bladder press (used with softer fruits), hydraulic press, or low resistance expeller pressing so as not to exceed the 122¡ãF temperature requirement.
  • Are oil bottles cold pressed or expeller pressed?
  • Unless an oil bottle is labeled ¡®cold pressed¡¯ or ¡®expeller pressed¡¯, terms such as ¡®hexane free¡¯ do not ascertain that it is mechanically pressed. Hence, when looking to purchase pressed oils, ensure that the labels explicitly indicate that it is cold or expeller pressed.
  • What is cold pressed oil?
  • When it comes to the term “cold pressed”, it has at times been misused to describe expeller pressed oils, but these are really two different things. Cold pressing process typically removes the least amount of the oil from the seed, making it the least efficient and more expensive for its process.
  • How is expeller pressed oil refined?
  • Expeller pressed oil is refined using the same process described above. This refining process involves additional heat from steam and use of a natural earthen bleaching clay. Cold pressed oils must be produced below 122¡ã (as legally defined in Europe). Cold pressing usually involves a low-resistance expeller press that is done at a very slow rate.
  • What is the difference between an expeller press and a cold press?
  • Typically, when these ingredients are pressed, they are at a much lower temperature (122? F) compared to an expeller press. Note: Unlike oilseed presses, absolutely no heat is used when making cold-pressed oils with one of Goodnature¡¯s cold-press machines.
