kylmäpuristettuna

Kylmäpuristettuna is a Finnish term that translates to "cold-pressed" in English. It refers to a method of extraction and processing, most commonly associated with oils and juices, where heat is avoided. In the context of oils, such as olive oil or seed oils, kylmäpuristettuna signifies that the oil has been extracted mechanically without the use of high temperatures. This gentle process is believed to preserve the natural nutrients, flavor, and aroma of the oil, as excessive heat can degrade these delicate compounds. Similarly, for juices, kylmäpuristettuna indicates that the fruit or vegetable has been pressed at low temperatures, often using hydraulic presses, to extract the liquid. This method is often favored for its ability to retain vitamins, enzymes, and the fresh taste of the produce. The term emphasizes a natural and minimally processed approach to obtaining oils and juices, distinguishing them from products that may have undergone heating or chemical treatments during extraction. Consumers often seek out kylmäpuristettuna products for their perceived higher quality and health benefits.
