# How we make it

Cold pressing is a short process. Each step below is what happens to every batch.

Process

   ### Source

   We buy whole, dry seed, check each lot by eye and clean it to remove dust, stones and damaged seed.
2. ![](/_astro/step-press.B-25JKtQ_1tJRax.webp)

   ### Press

   The seed is pressed mechanically, without added heat or chemical solvents.

   ### Settle and filter

   The oil rests so solids settle naturally, then it is filtered before bottling.

   ### Bottle

   The filtered oil is bottled, sealed and labelled.

Sourcing

## Where does the seed come from?

We buy whole seed from established seed traders and check every lot before it is cleaned and pressed. We will name regions and suppliers here as our supply becomes regular.

Hygiene and testing

## What hygiene practices are in place?

We list only what we do now.

- The press, settling containers and filters are cleaned between batches.
- Seed and oil are kept in clean, covered containers, off the floor and out of direct sunlight.
