cold pressed

Squeezed without heat

Cold pressed describes oils or juices extracted by mechanical pressure without heat.

The absence of heat preserves flavors, nutrients, and chemical properties that cooking would destroy.

Cold pressed olive oil commands premium prices.

The term appears on labels as a quality marker, though definitions vary by product and region.
