Cold pressing refers to oil obtained from fruits or seeds physically through a press. The pressing action produces a small amount of heat through friction. The oilseeds are not precooked and consequently, the oil is ‘cold-pressed’. In contrast to large scale solvent extraction and refining operations which strip oil of its natural antioxidants, vitamins, and flavour, cold-pressed oils retain all their flavour, aroma, and nutritional value, making these oils great for cooking and skin care requirements
