Bridging Tradition and Technology oil: Modern Cold-Pressing with Ancient Techniques

Cold-pressed oil being extracted using modern technology with Agronic logo, representing the blend of traditional and modern oil-making methods.

The Heritage of Cold-Pressed Oils

Today, many oils are refined, blended, or fortified. But most lose a lot of their natural goodness along the way. Cold-pressed oils are different. Instead of using high heat or chemicals, they are extracted gently at low temperatures (usually below 50°C). This slow method protects key nutrients, healthy fats, and antioxidants. It keeps the oil pure, nutritious, and flavorful.

This traditional process provides oils with great health benefits. It also keeps the purity that refining usually removes. Cold-pressed oils are rich in vitamins A, D, and E. They also contain compounds that support heart health, immunity, and digestion. So, they offer more than just taste; they provide real nourishment.

Cold-pressed oils provide healthy fats that support heart health. They help reduce inflammation and boost overall vitality. Their natural profile also enhances the flavor of food in a way that feels both wholesome and authentic.

They are not just a cooking ingredient. They represent the value of choosing pure foods. This choice supports better health, sustainable living, and a return to nature’s wisdom.

Modern Cold Pressed

The traditional ghani method shows our heritage and simplicity. Cold-pressing hasn’t vanished; it’s just changed. Today, modern cold-pressed oil extraction uses slow, gentle pressing. It also benefits from advanced technology.

In modern facilities, seeds are first washed, sorted, and cleaned to ensure purity. They go into a cold press machine. A rotating screw applies steady pressure to extract the oil. This method is special because it keeps the temperature below 40°C. This helps the oil keep its natural color, aroma, flavor, and nutrients. The byproduct, known as oil cake, is clean. It’s often reused for things like animal feed or fertilizers.

How we do ( traditional and modern )

At our company, we believe that great oil begins long before pressing. We work directly with farmers who use organic and chemical-free methods. We check every seed and nut for purity, moisture, and quality. This happens before they arrive at our facility.

Once it arrives, here’s how we blend traditional care with modern precision:

  • Seed Selection & Cleaning: Only high-quality, organically grown seeds are chosen. They’re cleaned thoroughly to remove dust, stones, or impurities so the oil starts pure from the first drop.
  • Cold Pressing at Controlled Temperatures We stick to the slow-pressing method. This means no high heat and no chemicals.
  • But we use modern, food-grade stainless-steel presses to maintain hygiene and consistency. We keep the temperature below 40–50°C, preserving natural nutrients, antioxidants, and aroma.
  • Settling & Natural Filtration We let our oils settle naturally instead of using chemicals. Then, we filter them gently.
  • This keeps the oil rich and close to its natural form while ensuring clarity and safety.
  • Lab Testing & Quality Checks: Each batch goes through strict in-house tests. We check free fatty acids, moisture, and microbial levels. This ensures it meets our standards and international norms.
  • Fresh Packaging: We pack right after testing. Our food-grade, light-protective containers keep freshness, flavor, and nutrients locked in.
  • Depending on the oil type and customer needs, we use vacuum-sealed pouches or sealed bottles to keep air and light out.
