Market Definition
Cold press abstraction is one of the mechanical extraction methods, which requires relatively less energy than other oil extraction methods. Cold-pressed oils are manufactured naturally or extracted by crushing sun-dried oil seeds or nuts such as coconut, sesame, castor, groundnut, sunflower, mustard, or olive at room temperature. Being a traditional oil extraction method, it does not involve any additional elements, preservatives, or heat, thereby retaining the original nutritional values.

Moreover, unlike hot-pressed, these oils downsize the adverse effects of high temperature and exhibit more enriching properties than refined oils as they are free from cholesterol or undesired solvent residues, promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Apart from cooking, cold-pressed oils have also witnessed significant adoption in cosmetic and personal care products.
