Cold-Pressed Almond Oil vs Refined Almond Oil

Understanding the difference between extraction methods helps when evaluating oil quality.

Cold-pressed Almond Oil

• extracted without heat or chemical solvents
• retains natural nutrients and aroma
• minimally processed

Refined Almond Oil

• processed using high heat or chemical refining
• may lose some natural nutrients
• often neutral in flavour and aroma

Choosing cold-pressed almond oil helps preserve the natural integrity of almonds.

Purity and Freshness of Advait Living Cold-Pressed Almond Oil

Each batch of our cold-pressed badam oil is carefully prepared to preserve the natural richness of the almond. The oil is batch-tested for purity and bottled fresh to maintain its aroma, flavour, and nutritional value.

How Is Our Cold-Pressed Almond Oil Made?

Our cold-pressed almond oil is produced through a careful, low-temperature extraction process that helps preserve the natural nutrients and aroma of sweet almonds. Traditionally known as original badam tel, this method emphasises maintaining the purity, freshness, and natural integrity of almonds without chemical processing.

Below are the key steps involved in making our cold-pressed badam ka oil.

I. Almond Selection

There are two types of almonds — bitter and sweet. Only sweet and edible almonds are chosen based on size, maturity, and the absence of defects or damage.

Once graded and selected, the almonds are sun-dried to remove excess moisture. The outer shells are then removed, leaving only the almond kernels. These kernels are carefully inspected to ensure they meet strict quality standards. Any damaged or inferior kernels are discarded.

This careful selection ensures that only high-quality almonds are used to produce authentic badam tel. 

II. Cold Pressing the Almonds

High-quality sweet almonds are pressed in traditional cold-press machines operating at low RPM and below 50°C. This slow-extraction method ensures the oil retains its natural nutrients, colour, aroma, and flavour.

No toxic hexane or chemical solvents are used during this process. Because the temperature remains low, the natural vitamin E, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids in the almonds are preserved.

This careful process produces pure, cold-pressed almond oil that maintains the traditional quality expected.

III. Single Press & Virgin

The almond kernels are pressed only once to obtain virgin, single-pressed oil. This method ensures that the oil retains maximum bioactive compounds and nutritional value.

Unlike multiple extraction processes used in industrial oils, single pressing helps preserve the natural composition.

IV. Natural Filtration and Settling

After extraction, the oil is allowed to settle and sediment naturally. This step allows heavier particles and impurities to separate naturally from the oil.

Once sedimentation is complete, the oil is cold-filtered through cheesecloth rather than subjected to industrial refining. This gentle filtration produces clear, aromatic almond oil while maintaining its natural character.

V. Quality Testing and Packaging

Before packaging, the oil undergoes quality and purity testing to ensure it meets the required standards for safety, nutritional value, and freshness.

Each batch is carefully checked for:

• purity and absence of contamination
• nutrient levels
• overall quality and consistency

Finally, the pure golden oil is bottled in non-reactive glass bottles to preserve freshness, aroma, and nutritional integrity before reaching you.

This careful process ensures that the oil you receive remains authentic and nutrient-dense.
