What is “cold pressed” extraction?

Pure Alaska Omega salmon oil is extracted from fresh salmon swimming freely in the pristine waters of Alaska.  The salmon is handled and processed using our proprietary cold pressed, extra virgin extraction process. This cold pressed process shields our oil from extreme high temperatures used in other extraction processes to maintain the natural balance of nutrients and companion compounds found in fresh salmon. Pure Alaska Omega salmon oil delivers all omega fatty acids (3, 5, 6, 7, 9, & 11) in their naturally formed triglyceride state. Extra virgin relates to our unique one step clean extraction method as no solvents are used to extract our oils, they are safe for human consumption and considered an “edible oil” much like olive oil.
