Q. What is the difference between refined and cold-pressed oils?
A. Refined oils are colorless, odorless, and flavorless. They are typically extracted using solvents and high-speed grinding, which generates heat up to 100°C, compromising the oil's taste and nutritional value. This process also creates trans fats, which are unhealthy for the heart. On the other hand, our cold-pressed oils are extracted by slowly pressing and grinding seeds below 50°C. While this method is time-consuming, it preserves the natural flavor, aroma, and nutrients, making it rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and healthy fats for your heart.
Q. Why are Amaira Organic cooking oils expensive?
A. Amaira Organic offers premium, cold-pressed oils extracted in traditional wooden Kolhus by crushing raw seeds and nuts under pressure. Our oils are “First pressed,” meaning they’re pressed only once, ensuring they are unrefined, unbleached, and completely natural. This method helps retain the oil’s authentic flavor, aroma, and nutritional properties, making them perfect for cooking and skin care. While cold-pressed oils cost more, the quality and health benefits are worth the investment.
Q. Does it solidify and melt on its own?
A. The coconut oil remains liquid at room temperature while solidifies at lower temperatures, especially during winters.
