Hi, one of the reviewers stated that it had to be finished up quickly, is this true? Is there a limited shelf life? Also, is this oil 'cold pressed'

It doesn't say "cold pressed," do I don't think so but don't know for sure. It doesn't have an expiration date stated on it so I'm not sure of the shelf life.

Yes...BUT... Like all unprocessed oils cold preserves the integrity of the omega 3 content (I keep mine in the freezer for maximum preservation because it stays liquid), however, unlike most perishables it does not need continuous cold to prevent spoiling. This is why it can be shipped in a normal box. As long as it is kept cold most of the time and especially after it is opened it will be fine (same goes for flax oil). If it gets warm after opening it needs to be used up pretty quick or it will start to go bad. I recommend alternating between hemp and flax for maximum omega fatty acid nutrition.

I actually didn't know that. I'm new to the essential oils. I under the impression that this was a pure, unprocessed essential oils, so I would be disappointed if it was processed. If you learn anything, please let me know. -thank you

Nowhere on this bottle does it state this oil is cold pressed or extra virgin. I don't know why others have replied with a 'yes'. It is also about 5 bucks a bottle at the actual store.

I guess the best is to buy it refrigerated, but it's fine to purchase it online because its only some hours that the bottle will be exposed to high temperatures and no harm will be made to the oil.When you receive it at home keep it refrigerated.

No, mine came fine and new (sealed). You should send it back for exchange or refund. don't wait!I like this oil, the taste is not as strong as say extra virgin coconut oil.

This is fish oil. It can go bad. I refrigerate mine after opening, but it starts out viscous at room temp and gets even thicker when refrigerated, so you have to thaw it out for a while. It's really fishy too - go figure.

it is shipped seal up in plastic and boxed. I keep mine in the refiig. to keep fresh. I sat it out for a a few minutes to soften up. Like any and all oils even crisco I keep in refig., this helps to prolong the freshness longer and does not get that funny taste when left out in cabinets. Some oils will thicken up but sat out for 15 to 20 minutes and will lossen up to oils. Oils loose it's vitamins and value when left out. Hope this helps. I have been cooking for 54 years and have learn a lot.

lable saying 100% natural, which mean no addictives or chemicals so this product is cold pressed. To verify contact the manufacturer to ask questions about the oil or to clarify any of the qustion you have.

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.

Hi, I would refrigerate this oil if you intend to keep it for over a year, I keep my oils in an extra frig in the garage. If you have a cool basement area to store your oils, that works longer term as well. All oils are subject to become rancid if not used soon enough. The cooler, the better. Its not hard to warm it up, same as honey, just put the bottle into a pan of very warm water. I would also advise that it be put into a glass container, I use mason jars and just mark the lid with a sharpie marker and date it. That way you can just spoon out the quantity of cold oil that you need to use. Neem is a favorite for blending different oils together for healthy skin. I use lilac or lavender oils to dim the neem smell a bit. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't. Being unprocessed and cold pressed means this a lot more powerful... I'd try a medical grade Castor oil for that purpose, you can pick it up at your local drug store.

I imagine it will last a very long time...it's like storing walnuts in the freezer--the freezing stops the oil from going rancid.

It took me about 10-15 min to extract 4quarts of "Cold oil" compared to several hours extracting by hand pumped vacuum I've used previously that was almost twice the cost. If the oil is warm I'm pretty sure it would remove it it in that time frame

Yes that is normal! When the temperature drops or it gets cooler the oil will solidify on its own. If it doesn't solidify; perhaps you live in a warmer area/season, it is still okay. You can pop it in the fridge if you'd like but then it's a little bit harder to scoop out.

No refrigeration needed. The oil will solidify if cooled. I have mine in my kitchen cabinet. If kept tightly closed it should be good for a year or so. I use it in the lawn and vegetable garden to keep pests and slugs away from my fruit. So my bottle lasts me a growing season with a little left over. The left over works fine the following season. After a year it might loose some of its pesticide potency. This is so much better than those chemical pesticides.

I checked the label and it says Oils is naturally hazy. By minimally processing the oil, they are able to retain more of the wonderful anti-oxidants like gamma-oryzanol that makes it wonderful. Nothing is said about the way it was processed.
