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 healthy fats, natural antioxidants, vitamins, and mineral content are 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 oil and corn oil make them among the best oils for frying and a great alternative 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 healthy dressing for salads, while walnut oil can be drizzled over desserts or ice cream for a culinary twist.

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

The pure oils can also be used as carrier oils, providing a safe base for applying essential oils to the skin for massage and aromatherapy while improving absorption.

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, as it means it was made from organically grown crops; therefore, it is free from synthetic pesticides and fertilisers, while mechanical pressing at low temperatures ensures its original natural goodness is fully preserved. The result is a cooking oil rich in flavour, which aligns perfectly with a more sustainable, health-conscious lifestyle.
