In the modern, dynamic, and health-oriented society, it is more crucial than before to select the right ingredients for daily cuisine. The cooking oil is one of the most important ingredients of a dish. The shelves in kitchens have usually been occupied by the refined oils, but now the cold-pressed oils are taking over the whole place due to the incomparable health benefits and natural purity of the cold-pressed oils.

What are Cold-pressed Oils?

Our cold-pressed oils are extracted by a traditional method, which consists of pressing seeds, nuts, and fruits at a low temperature without heating or any addition of chemicals. It does not destroy any nutrients, antioxidants, or the natural taste of the source of oil.

Compared to refined oils, cold-pressed oils have had no high heat, bleaching, deodorizing, or chemical solvents applied. They are therefore retained in their original color, aroma, taste, and lastly, their nutritional value.

How Are Cold-Pressed Oils Made?

The cold-pressing process involves:

• ●     Cleaning and preparing the seeds or nuts
  
• ●     Feeding them into a mechanical press
