Brief
Cold pressed’ is a marÂketÂing term with litÂtle meanÂing. Most olive oils these days are not pressed but extracted in a cenÂtrifuge. And no one has ever defined ​‘cold’ for the labelÂing term. So ignore it and look for other label indiÂcaÂtions like a harÂvest date to base your selecÂtion on.
