• Is expeller pressed coconut oil better than cold pressed?
  • This depends on what you require the coconut oil for. Expeller pressed coconut oil is better for cooking on higher heat. Meanwhile, cold pressed coconut oil has more nutrients and thus, is better served raw or on lower heat. Is expeller-pressed oil the same as cold pressed? No, they are slightly different.
  • 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.
  • What does expeller pressed coconut oil taste like?
  • Surprisingly, expeller pressed coconut oil does not necessarily taste very coconut-y. Instead, it has a more toasty and nutty flavor due to the heat used in processing. If you prefer a more coconut flavor, use cold pressed coconut oil.
  • 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.
  • What is the difference between expeller pressed oil and solvent-extracted oil?
  • Expeller-pressed oils can also be RBD and/or winterized the same as solvent-extracted oils (physical or chemical). Expeller pressing removes about 87-95% of the oils from the nuts/seeds, making it the second most efficient. Cold-processed oils cannot exceed 122¡ãF during the extraction process.
  • 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.
