Natural Oils
After production, natural oils are only filtered! Natural oils are not processed and therefore contain all the substances from the seeds in a high content, which accompanies the fat of the oil. Our natural oils are cold pressed or CO2 extracted.
Cold Pressed
The term “Cold Pressed” means that the oil is extracted under pressure without external heat and then filtered. The oil has not been treated using chemical solvents or deodorized using steam. The term does not specify the exact temperature reached during production. Cold-pressed oils have a limited shelf life and generally should not be heated.
CO2 Extraction
Oils obtained from CO2 are produced by extraction into carbon dioxide. Applying pressure increases the density of carbon dioxide, producing an effective solvent. The moderate temperatures and antioxidant CO2 atmosphere during this natural extraction process place far less stress on the oil than other production methods.
Processed Oils
Often the characteristic taste and smell of the product is not desired or the oil must be free of fatty substances for technical reasons.
Deodorised
Odor removal is an improvement sub-process. Here steam is used to remove unwanted substances such as fragrance and colouring. Deodorized oil is relatively neutral in taste and smell. This technique can also be used on organic oils, as this is not a chemical process.
