Process:

Cold pressing involves extracting oil from seeds, nuts, or fruits without using heat or chemicals. The mechanical process (often using a hydraulic press) operates at a low temperature to ensure that the oil retains its natural flavor, aroma, and nutritional value. Cold-pressed oils like peanuts, coconut, sesame oil, and sunflower oil are gaining popularity due to their properties and health benefits.

Characteristics:

Maintains most of the oil’s natural nutrients, including vitamins, antioxidants, and healthy fats.

Has a more robust flavor and aroma compared to oils processed with heat.

Generally more expensive due to the less efficient extraction process and lower yields.

Uses:

Often used in salad dressings, marinades, and dips where the flavor of the oil can be appreciated.

Not typically used for high-heat cooking due to its lower smoke point compared to refined oils.
