Cold Pressed Organic Oils

What is a cold-pressed oil?

It is an oil produced through 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?

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

  • The high smoke point of Sunflower Oil and Corn Oil makes them a great alternative to extra-virgin olive oil when cooking at high heat, perfect for grilling and deep-frying.
  • 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 you can drizzle Walnut Oil 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 contain a combination of inflammatory ingredients, including those derived from canola and soybeans.

The pure oils can also be used as carrier oils, providing a base for safely applying essential oils used in massages and aromatherapy to the skin, while allowing for improved absorption.

Are organic and cold-pressed oils the same?

Organic oils are those made from certified organic ingredients, while cold-pressed refers to the method used to produce the oil. The best combination is when an oil is both organic and cold-pressed, as it means that it was made from organically grown crops; therefore, it is free from synthetic pesticides and fertilisers, while mechanical pressing at low temperatures ensures that its original natural goodness is fully preserved. The result is a cooking oil rich in flavour, which perfectly aligns with a more sustainable and health-conscious lifestyle.

Are cold-pressed oils healthy?

The oils are made using premium quality ingredients without the use of additives or preservatives. They are unrefined and unfiltered; therefore, they retain the health benefits associated with the raw nuts or seeds:

  • They are naturally free from cholesterol and an excellent source of vitamins, unsaturated fats and essential Omega fatty acids.
  • Depending on the type of oil, regular consumption may offer a wide range of benefits to the body, including reduced inflammation and improved circulation and cardiovascular health. This is in stark contrast to most regular vegetable oils, which might aggravate existing health issues or even lead to new ones.
  • The oils can be applied externally to reduce dryness and skin cracking, while providing hydration for dull, frizzy hair, making it softer with a lovely sheen.

Sustainable & Eco-Friendly Choice

They then press these using a revolutionary and environmentally friendly 'zero waste' technology, which, besides producing the silky-smooth vegan cooking oil, also creates a creamy nut or seed butter and a gluten-free flour as by-products, ensuring that nothing is discarded.

The result is a range of healthy gourmet products which are great for you and the planet.
