Extracting oil through cold-pressing involves 'pressing' seeds to force out the oil. The seeds are dropped into a cylinder that contains a rotating screw. This screw grinds and crushes the seeds until the oil is extracted. Small holes in the bottom of the cylinder allow the oil to escape into a collection container.
By keeping temperatures to less than 40°C, the cold-pressed extraction process ensures there’s no exposure to heat or light. This helps to prolong freshness without affecting the oil’s nutritional value.
