press cake

Squeezed-out solid remains

Press cake is the solid residue left after pressing oil, juice, or liquid from seeds, fruits, or other materials.

In oil production, the cake remaining after extracting oil from soybeans, cottonseed, or olives often becomes animal feed or fertilizer.

The press cake from the olive harvest was spread on the fields.
