Is Wood Pressed Oil the Same as Cold Pressed Oil?
Yes and No. All wood pressed oils are cold pressed, but not all cold pressed oils are wood pressed. Let us explain. The term cold pressed oil refers to any oil extracted at low temperatures without the use of heat or chemicals. On the other hand, wood pressed oil is a specific type of cold pressed oil made using traditional wooden mills (lakdi ghani or marachekku).
Wood Pressed vs Cold Pressed – What’s the Difference?
| Aspect | Wood Pressed Oil | Cold Pressed Oil |
|---|---|---|
| Extraction Tool | Wooden press (lakdi ghani / chekku) | May use steel expellers or hydraulic presses |
| Temperature | Low (< 45°C) | Low (< 45°C) |
| Material Contact | Wood (natural, anti-oxidizing) | Metal (can generate heat or static) |
| Flavor & Aroma | More natural and traditional taste | Varies depending on method |
| Common Names | Marachekku, Ghani oil | Cold pressed, virgin oil |
