is the palm oil of the high quality cold-pressed 'virgin' type, or is it 'industrial/processed'?

The cumin seed oil you speak of may be chemically extracted and not refined - that is probably the difference. It should be "cold pressed" to receive the natural benefits of this seed oil. You don't want it to contain synthetic preservatives or unnatural additives for best results.

The label doesn't say if it's cold pressed or not, but it does read 100% pure. I used to use Josie Maran's Argan Oil, but just couldn't afford it any more. I've found this company's argan oil to be top quality, feel the full benefits to my skin (face & body) as well as my hair, and I'm spending a whole lot less for it!

NO, it's not Kosher. In Fact, I've used 4 Different companies Coconut Oil, and although All 4 Were Organic, non were Kosher. I don't think that any of the Coconut Oils are Kosher. I Always look for Organic, Vegan, Non-GMO, Unrefined - Cold Pressed, and lastly Extra-Virgin.

Yes. This brand is made with organic palm oil (mechanically pressed) and it is awesome!!

You may want to Goggle it and read up on the term "EXTRA VIRGIN" when it comes to Coconut Oil. "extra" should not be used and "virgin" probably should be dropped from use as well. I believe that the words Organic, cold pressed, and unrefined/refined is what we should look for in Coconut oil.

It is cholesterol free, cold pressed and unrefined, organic, 100% pure coconut oil. It stays solid below 76 degrees F. While it doesn't say non-hydrogenated on the label, I would assume it was from that.

I don't know if it is cold pressed. It is not deodorized, as a matter of fact I didn't like it because it features a inferior rubber draw nipple which the oil retained a rubberish' smell from. Through trial and error I have found that Arabelle and Natural Beauty Argan Oil brands are better. Pleasant light, almost floral smell and good skin feel.

First cold pressed, which is of even higher quality than cold pressed, means that the oil was made with the first pressing of the olives.The label states that it is "First Cold Pressed".

The following appears on the Amazing Herbs website: "Amazing Herbs Premium Black Seed oil (Black Cumin oil) is freshly cold-pressed (first-pressing) using only the highest quality NON-GMO and organically sourced Nigella Sativa seeds and Guaranteed 100% Pure, Fresh, and Un-Refined. So unlike imported mystery oils, you will be happy know that our oil is fresh and the highest quality available anywhere." "Amazing Herbs now offers cold-pressed Black Seed oil in Two Types: Premium and Egyptian. While the nutritional benefits and chemical composition of both types are identical, our Premium Black Seed oil has a spicy and pungent flavor and is pressed from Indian or Turkish seeds, whereas our Egyptian Black Seed oil has a milder flavor. Both are 100% pure and natural and are manufactured to the highest quality standards, free from pesticides, gluten, heavy metals, and preservatives. The bottles that we use are BPA-free and are made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) which is easy to transport and recycle. Widely favored in the health and nutrition industry, HDPE is fully approved by the US and Canadian governments for vegetable oils and has an untarnished record of health and safety. We take all care possible in protecting the oil from light frequencies that even the darkest amber glass bottles allow through. The integrity of our oils is one of our highest priorities."

Virgin palm oil under minimal PROCESSING SO IT RETAINS MUCH OF ITS NATURAL AROMA AND FLAVOR. the FLAVOR OF RED PALM OIL CAN VARY A GREAT DEAL FROM BRAND TO BRAND DEPENDING ON THE PROCESSING METHODS USE. Some brands may have a very strong somewhat earthly flavor while others will be milder. Rancidity or poor processing procedures may intensify the earthly flavor. Cooking tempers the flavor somewhat so that even strong flavored brands lose of their bite. A good quality red palm oil has a mild, pleasant savory flavor. When used in cooking the oil can enhance the flavor of foods.

Leah, only oils are cold pressed; powders (like NOW Spirulina Powder), not being liquid, can't possibly be cold pressed. :)

As I researched the essential depot sight I found that this oil is said to be cold pressed, usually cold pressing is hexane free, they were helpful with my soaping questions so if you contact them I am sure they would be happy to help.Their catch phrase is greener life essentials so I hope it would be hexane free.

Well it says on the label this is from mexico. This particular plant originates down south here in the US and I would guess mexico also.I read somewhere that organic is not the important factor with jojoba oil. That organic doesn't say much about quality. More important is unrefined, cold pressed, virgin (first pressed). Haven't bought this brand yet, but based on reviews, it seems like the description from the seller rings true, that its top grade stuff.

The label says "cold pressed to preserve the natural nutritional content" so I believe it is not "refined" in the typical sense. It is a clear oil with a mild nutty taste. I keep it in the refrigerator at all times and it does not thicken. I use it for cooking, salad dressings, etc. Another excellent oil is avocado oil.

Don't know if it's organic.. I'm pretty sure it's extra virgin. It's very red and thick, but melts very easily like coconut oil. The refined palm oil is clear and not "earthy" like this oil. I hold my nose and take it and chase it with OJ.
