Why Choose Cold Pressed Flaxseed Oil?

Why Choose Cold Pressed Flaxseed Oil? The Benefits Behind Waltanna Farms’ Natural Process

In a world increasingly focused on natural health and clean eating, the way your food is produced matters more than ever. That’s where cold pressed oils come in — and why Waltanna Farms’ flaxseed oil stands out.

What Is Cold Pressed Oil?

Cold pressing is one of the oldest and most natural methods of oil extraction. Unlike industrial oil processing, cold pressing uses no added heat or harsh chemicals. Instead, flaxseeds are mechanically pressed at low temperatures, preserving all the vital micronutrients, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids.

This method dates back thousands of years — the earliest evidence of flaxseed oil use goes back to 7th century BC in Iran. Ancient traditions, modern health benefits.

Why Waltanna Farms Cold Pressed Flaxseed Oil?

At Waltanna Farms, we cold press our organic flaxseeds to produce a pure, nutrient-rich flaxseed oil with no additives, no heat, and no compromises. This gentle extraction process not only retains the nutritional profile of the oil but also allows us to make use of the entire flaxseed.

After pressing, the remaining flax meal is carefully milled into flax flour, a high-fiber, protein-rich ingredient perfect for baking and clean-label food products. It’s our way of ensuring no part of the seed goes to waste — delivering more value and sustainability from every harvest.

What’s Wrong With Conventional Oil Processing?

Modern industrial oil extraction methods often use high heat, enzymes, and chemicals like hexane, methanol, and ethanol. These processes may boost yield and reduce labor costs, but they come with a cost:

• Reduced nutritional value
• Chemical residues in the oil and meal
• Environmental harm from toxic byproducts

Worst of all, the flax meal left behind after chemical extraction is often unsuitable for human consumption.

The Bottom Line: Clean Oil or Chemical Soup?

Consumers today are asking better questions about what goes into their food — and rightfully so. With Waltanna Farms, the answer is simple:

• No chemicals
• No heat
• Just pure, cold pressed flaxseed oil and high-quality flax meal

So when it comes to choosing your oil, the decision is clear. Would you rather have chemically extracted oil or nutrient-dense cold pressed oil?
