Cold press procedure is a very simple extrusion method for squeezing the oil, without application of heat or chemical solvents (i.e without refining of the product) which results in so called pure oils. As it is a very subtle and sensitive product, in the process of cold pressing it is important not to exceed 45 C, in order to obtain the true bouquet and retain all vitamins and essential fatty acids. The combination of fatty acids in the body are extremely important for maintaining various elements of human health. Thus, sunflower oil with its fatty acid content, which includes palmitic, stearic, oleic acid and linoleic acid can help maintain that balance. The high content of vitamin E can positively affect huge range of conditions that people regularly suffer from.

The oil-bearing qualities were discovered in 18th century and some of the first production processes took place in Russia, then in USA.
