Why should camellia oil insist on traditional pressing?

Because the traditional soil pressing is purely manual operation, with high labor intensity and low oil yield, it completely retains the original nutritional components of camellia and the original flavor of camellia oil, which is also in line with modern people's pursuit of original ecology, green and healthy food, so "soil pressing" camellia oil is increasingly favored by people.

The pressing process is to extract oil from Camellia oleifera seeds by controlling oil temperature and physical pressing.

At present, the common pressing in the market is divided into low-temperature pressing and high-temperature pressing:

Low temperature pressing

Low temperature pressing is to extract camellia oil by hydraulic oil pressing process.

high-temperature pressing

High temperature pressing is a spiral pressing technology for extracting camellia oil.

However, whether it is low temperature or high temperature, mechanical pressing is used, because mechanical pressing has high yield and low cost, but mechanical pressing will destroy the nutritional components of camellia itself, and the nutritional components will be lost accordingly.

Traditional compaction method

Earth-pressed tea oil is operated manually from baking, grinding, cooking and pressing. After a series of processes, tea seeds became camellia oil dripped by Huang Cancan.
