❄ Cold-pressed (or cold extracted) means that the oil has been extracted from the olives at a temperature below 27°C. Think of it as a low-and-slow extraction for maximum quality.
🔥 Using high temperatures to extract oil from olives is the cheap and easy way out. It definitely speeds up the process and squeezes out more oil, but it comes at a cost: a taste disaster and no more health benefits. Bye-bye goodness!
The Bottom Line!
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY, ALWAYS.
While heating squeezes out more oil, keeping it cool ensures that every bottle is a fresh, flavourful, and highly nutritious champion.
