Organic Cold-Pressed Oils
Cold pressed vegetable oils are the best and generally superior quality oils. The term cold pressed states that the oil is produced by pressing without supplying extra heat. Thy are neither refined with chemicals or solvents, nor deodorized with steam. The term "cold-pressed" is not an indication of the temperature used in the process, for example, seed oils are extracted at an average temperature of 37°C. The freshly pressed oils are collected in stainless steel tanks and then pumped through filters, which extract the remaining seed sediment. The oil is then transferred to chilled oil stores and protected from natural light. Cold pressed oils have a limited shelf life and should not be exposed to high temperature.
To achieve the highest quality virgin cold pressed oil, vegetable matter should only be pressed once, so the highest level of the naturally occurring essential fatty acids is retained. For nutritional oils such as flax seed oil, this process produces a premium oil, high in Omega 3 with a smooth rich taste. For personal care oils, it produces high quality oils, rich in natural antioxidants, including Vitamin E and essential fatty acids.
* denotes that the oil is " produced to ecological standards and free from agro-chemicals"
