How We Make It

Grow & Harvest

Gently Squeeze

The seed is cleaned and gently squeezed to draw out the oil; by treating the seed with respect we retain its nutritional composition and flavour.

What Is Cold Pressed Oil?

More Flavour

The best quality oils are cold pressed. Cold pressing retains all of the flavour, aroma, and nutritional value of the oil.

Slow Press

We use screw presses – the seeds fall into the thread of the screw and the movement draws the seed through, squeezing out the oil as it is drawn down the shaft of the screw.

No Chemicals

Most refined oils are extracted using chemical solvents and high temperatures. Although the process is highly efficient abstracting 98% of the oil from the seed, compared to our 70%, it removes the taste, smell and colour.

No Heat

The oil is released without any heat treatment. The only heat comes from the friction created during the pressing and never exceeds 35ºC.

No Waste

The oil is pushed out through small holes in the casing. The meal that comes out the other end, is collected up and is used to make animal feed.

Never Blended

With most refined oils and some other cold pressed oils the seeds can come from many different farms or even countries. At hillfarm only the seeds grown on our own farm are used to produce our oil.
