Cold pressed oil

Cold pressed oil – a term that our grandmothers did not hear of, but used all the time. We are obviously referring to cold pressed seed oil.

Cold pressed seed oil

Cold pressing is a traditional and natural way to produce oil. Seed oils are extracted without the use of chemicals or solvents, below 40 ° C, which ensures that the entire essence and nature of the oil is preserved. Processing at low temperatures helps to produce low levels of peroxide (PV). The natural colors and flavors of the oil are preserved and all essential nutrients, antioxidants, healthy fatty acids and vitamins such as A, B, C and E are kept in cold pressed oils. Once the oil has settled, it is filtered to guarantee its purity.

The benefits of seed oils

  • High levels of unsaturated fatty acids: depending on the oil, this percentage can reach up to 85% polyunsaturated fatty acids.
  • A high concentration of Omega 6 and Omega 3 with strong anti-inflammatory properties. These two fatty acids are essential fatty acids that cannot be synthesized in the human body.

Cold pressed oil or classic oil? What is the difference between these?

Classic oil

  1. Classic oil is very fluid and very light in color, not more viscous and more colorful as we know an oil  should be . Why is this happening? Because nowadays in the fight for the highest possible productivity, the oil is overprocessed and treated with chemicals. And obviously, it is very diluted, meaning it has a lot of water in its composition. How else to be so cheap, fluid and pale?
  2. Another difference between classic and cold pressed oil is the processing temperature. What does this thing mean? Classic oil is obtained by high temperatures processing (up to 200 degrees Celsius), to extract a maximum amount of oil from the seeds. Due to the use of high temperatures in the processing process, a large part of the nutrients are lost.
  3. Another unnatural process is oil processing, a process by which the oil is cleaned with chemicals and hot steam.

Cold pressed oil

  1. It is 100% natural because it is obtained without the use of chemicals or high temperatures. At the same time, it is obtained by using cold presses, i.e strictly mechanical processes.
  2. Because of this, less oil is obtained from a kg of seeds, hence the higher price on the store shelf.
  3. Due to the fact that it is not heat treated, this cold pressed oil usually has a shorter shelf life than conventional oil.Cold pressed seed oils fully retain all the nutrients of the seeds, have a special fragrance and a specific aroma, pleasant, “with personality”, even.What do we get when we use it?
