Wood-pressed vs refined oil: what's really different?

25/6/2026

Refined oils are extracted with heat and chemical solvents, then bleached and deodorised — efficient, but stripped of aroma and nutrients. Wood-pressed (ganuga) oils are crushed cold, slowly, with nothing added. You get the natural colour, smell and goodness of the seed. It costs more and yields less. We think it's worth it.
