Rudraksha Oil & Sandal Olive Oil

Dear NR,

 

Generally its oil that doesn't go rancid when stored fof a while. Pls see below

details:

 

Cold pressed oil is oil which has been produced with the use of a low heat

technique. The introduction of heat to the process of making oil will degrade

the flavor, nutritional value, and color of the oil.

 

Heat, however, increases the yield. For this reason, cold pressed oil tends to

be more expensive, although it is also of higher quality.

The term “cold pressed oil” is subject to different regulations, depending on

the part of the world in which it is made. In the European Union, for example,

oil which is labeled as cold pressed must be produced in an environment which

never exceeds a certain temperature.

 

The temperature varies, depending on the oil, but is generally around 80 degrees

Fahrenheit (27 degrees Celsius). In the United States, oil labeling is not

regulated, so “cold pressed oil” may not actually be cold pressed oil at all.

Consumers will need to smell, taste, and see the oil to determine whether or not

it is truly cold pressed.

 

When oil is made, the nuts, seeds, or fruits being used to make the oil are

first ground into an even paste. The paste goes through a malaxation process, a

slow stirring which encourages the oil in the paste to clump. To extract the

oil, pressure is applied, forcing the oil out of the paste. Heating the paste

will increase the yield of oil. Some producers mix the paste with warm water, or

heat it before pressing. Others make cold pressed oil by using an oil stone

alone to remove the oil.

 

After the oil has been produced, it is graded and bottled. <a
