cold pressing

Unheated oil extraction

Cold pressing extracts oil or juice by crushing raw materials under pressure without heat.

The method preserves flavors, nutrients, and compounds that high temperatures would destroy.

Cold-pressed olive oil and cold-pressed juice command premium prices for their quality.

The technique applies to any extraction where heat would degrade the product.
