cold-pressed
Crushed without heat
Cold-pressed describes oils or juices extracted by mechanical pressure without heat.
The process preserves flavors, nutrients, and chemical properties that high temperatures would destroy.
Cold-pressed olive oil and cold-pressed juice command premium prices for their supposedly superior quality: I only buy cold-pressed coconut oil for cooking.
