What is Expeller Pressed Oil and Why Does it Matter?

AVO NON-GMO Certified Expeller Pressed Canola Oil 1

  • How does an expeller press work?
  • An expeller press or “screw press,” is a machine that presses seeds and nuts through a cavity and uses intense friction and pressure to extract oil. During this process, there isn’t any added heat but since the seeds are pressed using friction, heat is created (around 140-210˚ F). Once the seeds are pressed, the oil is removed.
  • Why is expeller pressing so expensive?
  • When expeller pressing, it takes a large number of nuts or seeds to create a high yield – which means more money. This is one of the biggest reasons why oil manufacturers aren’t keen on using this method of extraction and instead use methods that include chemicals and high heat.
  • Is it ironic if oil is made with expeller pressing?
  • Isn't it ironic that fats that require more aggressive extraction (like soybean, corn and cottenseed) come from what we consider relatively low-fat food sources and are all POLYunsaturated oils. Where as olive, peanut and sunflower oils come from fatty food sources,can be made with expeller pressing and are MONOunsaturated.
  • How does a nut oil expeller work?
  • An expeller is a big screw that is tightened until it crushes the nut/seed and causes the oil to run. This method provides yields of only 65-70% of the oil. Many companies then try to extract the rest of the oil using the chemical solvent. Mechanical pressing may create high temperatures, especially when squeezing hard nuts.
