  • What is the difference between expeller pressed oil and solvent-extracted oil?
  • Expeller-pressed oils can also be RBD and/or winterized the same as solvent-extracted oils (physical or chemical). Expeller pressing removes about 87-95% of the oils from the nuts/seeds, making it the second most efficient. Cold-processed oils cannot exceed 122°F during the extraction process.
  • Is expeller pressing better than solvent expelled?
  • Expeller pressing gets 87-95% of the oil out of the seed, so there is some oil still left over after pressing (though some claim as little as 65% is removed, so this is debated). Therefore, this option is not the cheapest, which can make this oil more expensive than the solvent expelled standard.
  • What is the difference between expeller pressed and cold pressed oil extraction?
  • Expeller pressing removes about 87-95% of the oils from the nuts/seeds, making it the second most efficient. Cold-processed oils cannot exceed 122°F during the extraction process. This means that vs. expeller pressed, a cold-pressed oil extraction method allows for the natural enzymes to stay intact and maintains a higher level of nutrients.
  • Which oils are solvent expelled?
  • Any oils that don’t explicitly say “expeller pressed” or “cold pressed” on the bottle or the ingredient label — you can assume that these are solvent expelled. Expeller pressed oil is the next most commonly found, though the market percentage in relation to solvent expelled oils, is miniscule.
  • How does solvent extraction work?
  • Sometimes oils are also then “winterized”, removing fats that can become solidified and separate out from the oil (such as rice bran oil). Solvent extraction removes about 97-99% of the oils from the nuts/seeds, making it the most efficient method of extraction.
  • What are the different types of oil extraction methods?
  • There are three oil extraction methods from fruits, nuts, and seeds: solvent extracted, expeller pressed, and cold-pressed. Please note that not all oils/butter are available in cold-pressed. We carry everything created through the cold-pressed/virgin oil extraction process if it is available.
