- About this item DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COLD PRESSED OILS & REFINED OILS: Refined oils are extracted using high heat. Also known as hot-pressed oils, refined oils are made by first cleaning them, then grinding them at high speed, which can generate heat up to 200°C and using some chemicals, which finally gives us the oil. On the other hand, cold-pressed oils are crushed slowly to extract oil from them. No heat is generated during the process. This also helps in retaining the nutrients and the flavours.
