• 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 is an oil expeller press?
  • French custom designs, manufactures and supports oilseed preparation equipment and screw presses, sometimes referred to as oil expeller presses. These oil extraction machines gather vegetable oil from oil-bearing seeds and nuts for food and industrial uses, including biodiesel and other fuels.
  • How does an expeller press work?
  • The expeller press is a screw type machine which presses the nuts and seeds through a barrel and creates friction and pressure to compress the ingredients. The oil falls through small openings while the pulp is expelled separately. This results in a clean oil, higher in natural colours and flavours.
  • What is the difference between expeller pressing and cold pressing?
  • Expeller pressing involves mechanical pressure without the use of chemicals, whereas cold pressing also avoids chemicals and employs low temperatures to maintain nutritional integrity. 3. Nutrient Retention
  • 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.
  • Should you choose expeller pressed or cold pressed oil?
  • If you are not keen on flavor and have a tight budget, then you should definitely go for expeller-pressed oil with a milder flavor. On the other hand, if you prioritize retaining maximum nutrients, antioxidants, and a richer flavor profile, then cold-pressed oil is the way to go.
