From Canola Seed to Oil: The Refining Journey
Canola oil is obtained through a meticulous pressing process that ensures the highest quality and purity.
Harvested canola seeds are first cleaned and dried to remove any impurities. These seeds are then heated and crushed, releasing their oil content. The crushed seeds are then mechanically pressed using modern equipment that exerts pressure to extract the oil. This pressing process is carefully monitored to maintain the optimal temperature and pressure, which helps to preserve the natural flavors and nutritional properties of the oil. Once the oil is extracted, it undergoes further refining to remove any remaining impurities, resulting in a clear and light oil that is ideal for cooking. Canola oil's pressing process ensures that it retains its high smoke point and health benefits, making it a popular choice in kitchens worldwide.
