The pestle turns at low speed so the temperature in the barrel stays around 40-45°C — the point of cold pressing is that the oil never gets hot enough to lose its aroma compounds or its vitamin E. The first run of oil is cloudy; it settles for two days, then passes through a cloth filter. No solvent, no caustic wash, no clay bleaching, no steam deodorising. Roughly three kilos of groundnut yield one litre of oil, which is the honest reason cold pressed oil costs more than refined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"blk\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat goes in, what stays out\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne ingredient: groundnuts.

The milk is left to separate and the oil drawn off cold — no external heat, no drying step, no solvent. Because nothing is dried, there is no smoky or musty note; virgin oil smells faintly of fresh coconut rather than strongly of copra. Yield is much lower than copra pressing, which is why it costs more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"blk\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat goes in, what stays out\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne ingredient: fresh coconut.
