Seed oil: how is it produced
How is seed oil obtained? If extra virgin olive oil is produced, by law, by cold pressing, the extraction and production of seed oil can take place in two different ways: by “mechanical pressure” or with the help of chemical solvents. Cold mechanical extraction by pressure allows the nutritional properties of the seeds to be maintained unaltered, which are first pressed and then rectified: with this method you obtain a type of oil with a more pleasant flavor and certainly more suitable for cooking. Faster and cheaper, the extraction method through chemical solvents undoubtedly allows a greater yield but it is the flavor and quality of the final product that suffers.
