Why You Should Be Cooking with Cold Pressed Oil
- Cold Pressing refers to oils obtained through pressing and grinding oilseeds without the use of chemicals or solvents at temperatures that do not exceed 60°C.
- Oil and meals retain all the nutritional values and antioxidants and healthy omega fatty acids.
- Polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleicacid) are known to lower serum cholesterol
- Cold pressed canola oil is rich in Polyunsaturated fat
Linoleic Acid – Omega 6
Alpha Linolenic Acid – Omega 3
Only 7% saturated fat
Why Cold pressed process for our oils:
Using cold-pressed oils offers a range of benefits that stem from the unique extraction process and the preservation of natural properties. Here are several reasons why incorporating cold-pressed oils into your culinary routine is advantageous:
- Preservation of Nutrients: Cold pressing involves extracting oils from seeds without the use of heat. This gentle process helps retain essential nutrients, antioxidants, and vitamins that may be compromised in oils produced through conventional methods involving high heat.
- Rich Flavour Profile: Cold-pressed oils often maintain a more robust and authentic flavour compared to oils extracted through conventional methods. The absence of high temperatures preserves the natural taste of the source ingredients, contributing to a more pronounced and enjoyable culinary experience.
- Enhanced Aroma: The cold-pressing method helps to preserve the natural aroma of the oil, providing a more fragrant and aromatic quality. This can significantly enhance the overall sensory experience of your dishes.
- Minimal processing instead of lower processing: Cold-pressed oils are produced without the use of additional chemicals or solvents. The minimal processing involved ensures that the oil retains its natural integrity from external substances.
- Retained Health Benefits: Cold-pressed oils, such as olive oil, often contain higher levels of beneficial compounds like polyphenols and monounsaturated fats. These components contribute to heart health, antioxidant properties, and other health benefits associated with a well-balanced diet.
- Reduced Oxidation: The absence of high heat during extraction minimizes the risk of oxidation, a process that can lead to the breakdown of the oil's nutritional content and the development of off-flavors.
- Environmental Impact: Cold pressing is often considered a more environmentally friendly method as it typically requires less energy compared to traditional refining processes. This aligns with a growing awareness of sustainable and eco-friendly practices.
In summary, using cold-pressed oils provides a wholesome and flavourful addition to your culinary repertoire, while also ensuring the preservation of essential nutrients and supporting a more sustainable and health-conscious lifestyle.
