How do first cold-pressure oils are made?

These oils are obtained by either mechanical pressure of the seeds, fruits or grains, which is decanted and filtered.
When the oil is refined too much, i.e., processed or refined, it becomes a purified fatty substance, which can be kept and be nice, but does not contain flavor, nutrients and therapeutic or curative value.

Advantages of first cold-pressure oils

  • Oil retains all its vitamins and provides the body with elements such as fatty acids.
  • They are rich in vitamin F, which is essential for intestinal function because it acts as a tonic for the mucous layer of the intestine, as well as helping to combat a long list of diseases.
  • High in phytosterols, i.e. active substances.
  • They are used with great success to achieve therapeutic functions, whether in treatments where the oil is applied externally or consumed in treatments with adequate doses.

Examples of cold-pressed oils and their particular advantages

Besides from properties that all cold-pressed oils have, each oil contains very special contributions depending on the seed, fruit or grain that is used in its preparation. Here are some first-pressure oil and their special qualities:

How to recognize a first cold-pressure oil?

  • It is on a dark or inked container to protect the oil from light and that it retains all its nutritional properties.
  • The price of these oils is greater than the refined oil, however, paying the difference is worth as they have enormous health benefits.
  • Each time you go to buy either olive oil, evening primrose or sesame, check that the package contains the words "first cold pressing", and is preferably of biological origin. Do not go with the idea that "Extra virgin" or "Virgin" guarantees that have been collected from the first cold pressing. It is called virgin oil the one has been obtained by physical or mechanical (centrifugation and pressure so the olive paste, for olive oil). Therefore, the juice of the olive, in this example is that designation.
  • Avoid the oils that ensure a smooth or purified taste, as they surely are very refined.
  • Oils used for cooking at home are typically 90% refined, have been subjected to high temperatures to get more oil extract, in addition to which are added preservatives. These heated oils are actually very harmful to health in general. If you use them, try to never reuse.

How to use first press oils in the kitchen?

You can use them for salads, dips, dressings, butters, soups, meats, spread on bread, etc. You should try to always consume raw, not heated, so you can have all the benefits.

How to conserve?

If you purchase an oil first cold pressed, look for a place away from sunlight, should be either cool, dry place. Sunlight may accelerate its expiration and may also cause their nutritional breakdown.
