• How does an expeller press work?
  • An expeller press or ¡°screw press,¡± is a machine that presses seeds and nuts through a cavity and uses intense friction and pressure to extract oil. During this process, there isn¡¯t any added heat but since the seeds are pressed using friction, heat is created (around 140-210? F). Once the seeds are pressed, the oil is removed.
  • How does an oilseed press work?
  • When pressing seeds or other ingredients to create cold-pressed oils using an oilseed press, less heat is used. The seeds or ingredients are placed in the press and then are crushed by the machine to obtain the oil. Typically, when these ingredients are pressed, they are at a much lower temperature (122? F) compared to an expeller press.
  • 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.
  • What is a fresh pressed oil mill?
  • Freshly pressed oils have unique, complex flavors that bottled oils can’t match, and fresh oils may have added health benefits, too. Our European-style mill makes it easy to press your own. As far as we know, it’s the only home-sized, non-electric oil mill on the market today. IMPORTANT! The key to successful pressing is the seeds and nuts you use.
  • Why is expeller pressing so expensive?
  • When expeller pressing, it takes a large number of nuts or seeds to create a high yield ¨C which means more money. This is one of the biggest reasons why oil manufacturers aren¡¯t keen on using this method of extraction and instead use methods that include chemicals and high heat.
  • What is edible oil processing?
  • The edible oil processing industry revolves around the production, processing and packaging of oils derived from vegetable sources, specifically seeds or nuts. These companies operate at various stages of the oil cycle, including cultivation, extraction, refining and distribution.
