first pressing

Virgin olive oil

First pressing refers to oil, juice, or wine extracted from the initial crush of raw ingredients—olives, grapes, citrus—before any subsequent processing.

The first pressing yields the highest quality product, with the purest flavor and most nutrients: first pressing olive oil, first pressing orange juice.

The term also applies to vinyl records: a first pressing is from the original production run, often valued by collectors for superior sound quality or historical significance.
