Cold pressed oils are oils that are made using a mechanical process called cold pressing, which involves extracting oil from seeds or nuts without the use of heat or chemicals.

Many types of oils can be made using the cold press method, including but not limited to: olive, avocado, sunflower, sesame, and coconut oil.

Cold pressed oils are believed to retain more of their natural flavor, aroma, and nutritional value than oils made using other methods, such as expeller pressing or solvent extraction.

Cold pressed oils should be stored in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry or refrigerator, to prevent them from going rancid.

Cold pressed oils are made by mechanically pressing the oil out of the seed or nut without the use of heat or chemicals, while expeller pressed oils are made by mechanically pressing the oil out of the seed or nut using high heat and pressure. Cold pressed oils are believed to retain more of their natural flavor, aroma, and nutritional value.

If a cold pressed oil has gone bad, it will typically have a rancid or off smell and may taste bitter or sour.
