Cold Pressing

‘Cold Pressing’ is the term given to the process of mechanically separating oil from the seed by application of pressure only, without the addition of heat or chemicals. This method maintains the natural structure of the oil, with all its natural characteristics.

Stoney Creek takes great pride in its unique processing methods and presentation of product. Only the finest available seed is selected from Australian certified organic growers, and is air-cleaned to edible grade prior to processing.

Screw-type expellers extract the oil from the seed at a temperature not exceeding 40°C, in a light and oxygen-free environment. Oil is filtered through cloth filters to remove any seed particles, and filled into specially lined nitrogen-capped metal cans. The final product is ‘Batch’ and ‘Best Before’ dated before storing in cool storage until dispatch.
