Questions on Now Foods, Virgin Coconut Oil 12 fl oz

From Mary at 2/7/11 8:02 PM
- What is the difference between expeller pressed and cold pressed Coconut Oil?
  
  Do you carry a non-hydrogenated coconut oil?
- Hi Mary, this is a great question we often get asked. The best answer we think is found over at fooducate and can be seen here:http://www.fooducate.com/blog/2010/12/08/what-is-expeller-pressed-oil-and-why-does-it-matter/
  
  To paraphrase their article though...
  
  Expeller Pressed is when "how things were done for centuries. Applying heavy pressure to olives or seeds until oil starts seeping out. An expeller is a big screw that is tightened until it crushes the nut/seed and causes the oil to run. This method provides yields of only 65-70% of the oil. Many companies then try to extract the rest of the oil using the chemical solvent."
  
  Cold Pressed is when "companies go to great efforts to maintain a temperature below 90 degrees Fahrenheit when pressing the oil. In Europe the term “cold pressed” is regulated and oils cannot exceed that temperature. But in the US, there is no such regulation. Cold pressed could mean anything under 400 degrees"
  
  The following is non-hydrogenated AND is cold pressed : http://www.healthdesigns.com/nutiva-organic-extra-virgin-coconut-oil-54-oz.html
