In today’s fast-paced world of processed foods and synthetic ingredients, the quest for purity has led many health-conscious consumers back to their roots. And standing tall in this movement is a timeless treasure — cold pressed oil.
Extracted without heat or chemicals, cold pressed oils retain the original flavor, aroma, and nutritional value of their source. Whether it's for cooking, skincare, or wellness, these oils offer nature’s benefits in their purest form.
What is Cold Pressed Oil?
Cold pressed oil is extracted by mechanically pressing seeds or nuts at low temperatures (usually under 45°C), without applying external heat or solvents. This traditional method helps retain:
-
Natural antioxidants
-
Essential fatty acids
-
Vitamins and minerals
-
The oil’s authentic taste and aroma
Unlike refined oils, cold pressed oils do not undergo bleaching, deodorizing, or high-heat treatment, making them a healthier, cleaner choice for daily use.
Health Benefits of Cold Pressed Oils
Whether you're drizzling them over salads or cooking a hearty meal, cold pressed oils bring more than just taste to the table. Some key benefits include:
1. Nutrient-Rich
Packed with vitamin E, omega-3 & 6 fatty acids, and antioxidants, these oils support skin health, heart function, and immune strength.
2. Free From Chemicals
Since they’re not refined or treated with solvents, cold pressed oils are safe and toxin-free — ideal for children, elders, and those with dietary sensitivities.
3. Supports Gut and Skin Health
The natural compounds in cold pressed oils aid digestion and promote healthy skin, hair, and even hormonal balance when consumed regularly.
4. Eco-Friendly & Sustainable
Cold pressing is a low-energy, sustainable process. Brands like OraSure Organics go further by sourcing from ethically grown, organic farms, ensuring traceability and environmental care.
