Advantages Of Wood Cold Pressed Cooking Oils

Recently, there has been a resurgence of interest in wood pressed pressed oil for cooking due to the perceived benefits of these traditional extraction methods. While modern technology has introduced more efficient and automated oil extraction methods, wood pressed oils are still valued for their connection to ancient traditions, minimal processing, and potential nutritional advantages.

Potential benefits associated with wood pressed or cold pressed oils

• Retention Of Nutritional Value: Cold pressing extracts oil from seeds or nuts without using heat, solvents, or chemicals. This delicate extraction procedure preserves the oil's natural components, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

• Preservation Of Flavour and Aroma: Cold pressed oils are noted for their rich, unique flavours. The lack of high heat during extraction preserves the oil's flavours and fragrances, yielding a more genuine and tasty product.

• Minimal Processing: Wood pressed or cold pressed oils are generally made with minimum processing procedures. They are frequently removed manually without the need for chemical solvents. This may appeal to people who seek less processed, natural food products.

• High Antioxidant Content: Cold pressed oils, especially those sourced from seeds like sunflower or sesame, may contain more antioxidants than oils prepared with heat or chemicals. Antioxidants protect human beings from free radicals and oxidative stress.

• Potential Health Benefits: Some study evidence suggests that cold pressed cooking oil may have beneficial health effects owing to its nutritional composition. For example, wood pressed coconut oil has been linked to various health advantages, including decreased inflammation and enhanced heart health. Using a wooden mill, our cold pressed cooking oils are derived from the highest quality seeds and nuts. The cold pressed oil is sieve filtered before being bottled in tin, preserving all its nutrients. The processing follows worldwide manufacturing and sanitary standards. We provide wood cold pressed cooking oils across India and beyond the world.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• How to store cold-pressed oil at home?

Cold-pressed oils should be stored in a cool, dark place away from heat and sunlight.

• What is the shelf life of cold-pressed oils?

The shelf period of cold-pressed oils depends on the type of oil and the relevant storage conditions. Typically, it has a shelf period of one year.

• Can we use cold-pressed oils for cooking?

Yes, cold-pressed oils are suitable for low-temperature cooking as they have a lower smoke point than refined oils.  They are also ideal for use as finishing oils.

• How is the price of cold-pressed oils compared to refined oils?

Cold-pressed oil prices are higher than refined oil because it is extracted more traditionally, is labor-intensive, and is time-consuming. While refined oils may be more affordable, the superior quality and health benefits of cold-pressed oils justify their price.

• Which cold-pressed oil is good for deep frying?

When it comes to deep frying with cold-pressed oils, it's important to consider their smoke point, flavor, and nutritional profile. Cold-pressed oils are generally less refined and may have a lower smoke point compared to refined oils. Here are some options:

1. Coconut Oil: While coconut oil has a lower smoke point compared to some other oils, it's still suitable for deep frying at moderate temperatures. It adds a subtle coconut flavor to the food.
2. Groundnut Oil: Groundnut oil is another good option for deep frying due to its high smoke point. It has a mild flavor that works well with a variety of dishes.
3. Sesame Oil: While sesame oil has a lower smoke point compared to some other oils, it can still be used for shallow frying or for dishes that require lower temperatures. It adds a rich, nutty flavor to the food.
4. Sunflower Oil: High oleic sunflower oil, in particular, has a higher smoke point compared to regular sunflower oil, making it suitable for deep frying. It has a neutral flavor, allowing the taste of the food to shine through.
