What is the difference between cold pressed oil and pressed oil?

The difference between cold-pressed oil and pressed oil lies in the differences in production methods, quality, and taste.

1. Differences in production methods: Pressed oil refers to oil products that are separated from oils through mechanical pressing. Pressing at high temperatures can increase the yield of oils, while cold-pressed oil is pressed at low temperatures. This method avoids the destruction of nutrients by high temperature, but the yield is lower.

2. Quality differences: Cold-pressed oil is rich in nutrients. Due to low-temperature pressing, the oxide and free radical content in the oil will also be reduced, which is beneficial to human health. During the production process of pressed oil, Due to the effect of high temperature, some nutrients will be destroyed and rancidity will occur more easily.

3. Difference in taste: Compared with pressed oil, cold-pressed oil has a more mellow and delicate taste. Due to the incomplete nutritional content of pressed oil, the taste is rougher and sometimes has a burnt taste.

4. Cold-pressed oil is edible vegetable oil produced by pressing the oil raw materials at low temperatures (40 to 60 degrees Celsius). This oil-making process avoids the adverse effects of traditional high-temperature oil processing and can It can minimize the damage to nutrients and obtain high-quality oil and cake at the same time. The cold-pressed oil has a clear color and light taste, while the high-temperature pressed oil will not have a dark color or a pasty smell.
