Cold pressing is a method of extracting oil from its source. It produces the highest quality oil by avoiding the use of heat. When heating is involved in the extraction process the oil loses not only aroma and flavour but much of its nutritional content also. Cold pressing creates the least processed type of oil while retaining health benefits, distinctive taste, and smell.
Infused oils can be oils extracted using a number of different methods – cold press included. While cold pressing is a way of getting the oil from its ingredient, creating an infusion oil means bringing one or more additional elements into the mix. This creates a relationship between the characteristic of the oil and the extra ingredients being infused.
