Benefits of Cold Pressing
Because vitamins, minerals, and trace elements are heat-sensitive, the seeds are grown on controlled farms, then cleaned and pressed using traditional mechanical methods. The result is a pure virgin pumpkin seed oil with a rich flavor and smooth texture.
Steps in the cold-pressing process:
- The cleaned seeds are fed into a screw press for mechanical pressing. The seed temperature is kept below 40°C to help preserve nutrients.
- The oil pressed from the seeds is sent through a frame filter. It is then cooled to 8–10°C in a dewaxing step, then filtered again.
- The twice-filtered virgin pumpkin seed oil is then bottled and ready for delivery.
