DIFFERENT
QUALITIES OF OIL
|
|
Cold Pressed
- A method of mechanical extraction where
heat is reduced and minimized throughout the
batching of the raw material. This helps the
oil maintain its original state,
constituents, and depth. Temperatures are
rigorously controlled to ensure that it does
not exceed 80-90 degrees Fahrenheit.
Although not a practical method of
extraction for all vegetable oils on the
market it is highly regarded as the
extraction method of choice. |
|
Expeller
Pressed
- A method of natural, mechanical extraction
and processing of oils where a small amount
of heat is produced simply through the
frictional heat created by hydraulic
presses. This is usually around 120-200
degrees Fahrenheit and makes the oil
suitable and economical as a base for
cosmetics because of its fairly undisturbed
molecular state. It also makes a fine food
grade oil. |
|
Refined
- A fully processed oil where it has been
exposed to all methods of refinement
including a flash fluctuation in temperature
as high as 450 degrees and winterization as
low as -30 degrees, deodorization, which
removes the heavy and often unsettling odor
in oil, and finally bleaching, where natural
clays and other mediums are used to alter or
remove an oils color, and scent. This makes
for an economical oil in cosmetics and body
care products, but it is not the healthiest
as a food grade oil. |
|
Partially
Refined
- A process where only some of the methods
available are employed to produce a
manufactured oil. Only one or two of the
three available methods are used in a
partially refined oil. These include, but
are not limited to; deodorization,
winterization and natural bleaching. These
methods are used for oils which have been
known historically to go rancid quickly, and
they are also used to further stabilize an
oil or remove its heavy odor and deep color. |
|
Unrefined
- A process of mechanical extraction and
screen filtering where no additional
refining process has taken place. This
ensures the finest quality product and makes
the oil the most exquisite for food and
cosmetic preparation. The unrefined process
helps oil retain a rich, strong flavor and
color that is true to its natural state.
Unrefined oils are always darker in color
and richer in scent. |
|
CATEGORIES
|
|
Certified Organic -
Grown, harvested and processed without the
use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers,
herbicides, GMO's, synthetic chemicals,
growth agents, and free from irradiation and
chemical sterilization. All certified
organic materials are certified though OTCO,
a USDA accredited third party certification
agency. |
|
Wildharvested -
Items gathered from their natural
environment, such as woodlands, prairies,
deserts etc. All wildharvested items are
taken to separate facilities for further
processing. All wildharvested items gathered
and contracted for Mountain Rose Herbs must
sign a preliminary "Wild Take Audit" to
