• What is expeller pressed coconut oil?
  • Expeller pressed coconut oil uses an expeller, or ¡°screw,¡± machine to press the coconut meat. It uses extreme pressure and friction to create high heat and extract the oil. However, this processing can actually add up in cost. It usually requires more coconut or more of the entity desired to create the oil.

  • What is an expeller press?
  • An expeller press is a screw-type machine that mainly presses oil seeds through a caged barrel-like cavity. Some other materials used with an expeller press include meat by-products, synthetic rubber and animal feeds. Raw materials enter one side of the press and waste products exit the other side.
  • 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 hot does an expeller press get?
  • As the raw material is pressed, friction causes it to heat. In the case of harder nuts (which require higher pressures) the material can exceed temperatures of 120 ¡ãF (49 ¡ãC). An expeller press is a screw-type machine that mainly presses oil seeds through a caged barrel-like cavity.
  • How does expeller pressing work?
  • The oil seeps through small openings that do not allow seed fiber solids to pass. Afterward, the seeds are formed into a hardened press cake, which is removed from the machine. Pressure involved in expeller pressing creates heat in the range of 140¨C210 ¡ãF (60¨C99 ¡ãC).
