Cold Pressed Oils

What is a cold-pressed oil?

It is a cooking oil produced by mechanical cold pressing at low temperatures. These pure oils are created from raw nuts or seeds using a gentle process that ensures all their natural flavour is fully retained.

How to use cold-pressed oils for cooking?

These edible cooking oils are an exceptionally versatile addition to your pantry, perfect for preparing savoury and sweet recipes alike:

• The high smoke points of sunflower and corn oil make them great options for frying and excellent alternatives to extra-virgin olive oil when cooking at high heat.
• Hazelnut oil is an excellent addition to baking, while mustard oil is an essential ingredient in Asian cuisine.
• Grapeseed oil makes a delicious dressing for salads, while walnut oil can be drizzled over desserts or ice cream for a culinary twist.

These unrefined oils are perfect alternatives to regular vegetable oils, which are typically hydrogenated, highly processed, and include those derived from canola and soybeans.

Are organic and cold-pressed oils the same?

Organic oils are made from certified organic ingredients, while "cold-pressed" refers to the method used to produce the oil. The best combination is an oil that is both organic and cold-pressed, meaning it was made from organically grown crops; therefore, it is free from synthetic pesticides and fertilisers and is mechanically pressed at low temperatures. The result is a cooking oil rich in flavour, which aligns perfectly with a more sustainable lifestyle.
