In fact, the method is equivalent, since the olives are crushed or cut by means of mechanical arms and then beaten and centrifuged (equivalent to pressing, since a force is applied to obtain the olive juice).<\/p><p>Between <strong>cold extracted olive oil<\/strong> and <strong>cold pressed olive oil<\/strong>, the main difference lies in the terminology and the specific extraction method, although both refer to processes that avoid the use of heat to maintain the quality of the oil.<\/p><ol><li><strong>Cold pressed olive oil<\/strong>: Traditionally, the term &#8220;cold pressed&#8221; refers to a mechanical extraction method where olives are pressed to obtain the oil. This process does not use heat, which helps preserve the flavors, aromas and nutrients of the oil.<\/li><li><strong>Cold extracted olive oil<\/strong>: This term refers to other extraction methods that do not involve pressing, such as centrifugation, and in which the extraction is carried out under strict temperature control, using refrigeration at low temperatures to preserve the characteristics and properties of the oil.<\/li><\/ol><p>Both terms are often used to describe high quality oils, especially extra virgin olive oil. The key to both is that the temperature during the extraction process is kept low (generally below 27 \u00b0C or 80.6 \u00b0F) to ensure that the flavor, aroma and nutrients of the oil are not degraded.<\/p><p>In terms of quality, both cold-pressed and cold-extracted olive oil <strong>are considered superior to oils obtained by processes involving high temperatures or chemical methods<\/strong>. The choice between one or the other will depend on availability, price and, in some cases, personal preference as to the subtlety of the oil&#8217;s flavor and aroma.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the production of cold-pressed olive oil, the olives are pressed at a temperature not exceeding 27 \u00b0C (80.6 \u00b0F), which ensures that the oil does not lose its organoleptic characteristics, such as aroma and flavor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":31261,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","_joinchat":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[74,73,72],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32361","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-olive-oil-culture","category-gourmet-en","category-health"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/treurer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32361","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/treurer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/treurer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/treurer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/treurer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32361"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/treurer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32361\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32370,"href":"https:\/\/treurer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32361\/revisions\/32370"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/treurer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31261"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/treurer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32361"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/treurer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32361"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/treurer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
