Here's what you need to know about expeller pressed soybean oil.

The All Natural Process at Quality Roasting

At Quality Roasting, we pride ourselves on our all-natural expeller process for producing both our soybean meal and soybean oils. Our commitment to providing natural and nutritious soy-based products ensures that our expeller pressed soybean meal and expeller pressed soybean oil are the best choice for safety and quality.

What is Expeller Pressing?

Expeller pressing uses a physical process such as a mechanical press to extract oil from soybeans with heat, friction, and pressure. This method ensures that no solvents are involved, eliminating the risk of residual chemicals in the final product. As a result, our soybean oil and expeller pressed soybean meal maintain their natural integrity.

How Does Expeller Pressing Work?

An expeller press is a screw-type machine that applies friction and continuous pressure to squeeze soybeans through a caged barrel-like cavity. As the screw moves forward, it crushes the soybeans, pulling the oils to the surface. The dry matter (soybean cake/meal) is then separated from the oil for further processing into animal feed. This expeller process, while slightly more costly than solvent-based extraction, results in a pure and natural product.

Soybean Oil Refinement

Expeller pressed oil undergoes a refining process, involving additional heat from steam and natural earth bleaching clay to remove minerals and impurities. This ensures a food-grade, ready-to-eat refined oil that meets our standards for a multi-purpose cooking oil. 

Why is Expeller Pressed Soybean Oil Better?

Expeller pressed oils are considered superior due to the absence of chemical solvents, resulting in a cleaner, more natural oil. Our expeller pressed soybean oil provides a healthier option for cooking, frying, and baking. This makes it an ideal choice for those seeking natural soybean oil and a local source for high-quality cooking oil.

From planting the fields to crafting your final product, our goal is to keep it close to home. Great Lakes Gold vegetable oil is made right here in Valders, Wisconsin with locally grown soybeans.
