Whats is organic

什麼是有機? Whats is organic?

一般而言，就是在栽種過程中符合有機標準、生產製造過程中不添加任何有毒物質，例如: 化學性合成肥料及農藥絕對不准使用在農作物上，必須自行製作堆肥或施用禽畜糞肥或魚粉等。

什麼是冷壓? / What is cold-pressed?

一般而言，冷壓油是指在粹取油的過程中採用低溫的方式進行壓榨所得的油，像是冷壓橄欖油、冷壓苦茶油、冷壓椰子油、冷壓芝麻油等。利用這種方法取得的冷壓油能保留絕對多數的營養成份，亦是所謂的"好油"。

General Speaking, cold pressed oil is oil produced through a combination of grinding and low heat. Many types of fruits, seeds, and vegetables can be used to make it, but not all cooking oils go through this process. The introduction of heat to the process of making most oils degrades their flavor, nutritional value, and color, and may expose them to toxins.

什麼是初榨? What is virgin?

第一道初榨的油稱為初榨油，人工摘取果實後，盡快清洗、烘乾，再將果實打碎、擠壓，過濾乾淨，完全無添加任何化學成分及使用任何化學方式製造。初榨的油抗氧化的成份最飽滿，因為隨著每一次壓榨，油的非皂化部分會減少，抗氧化的力道也會逐漸減低。

Extra virgin oil refers to a specific grade of consumer oil that is made from the initial pressing of the plants. It is considered by most people to be the highest quality variety, with the finest taste and texture.
