Cold-Pressed Edible Flaxseed Oil
Our cold-pressed flaxseed oil production is specified around documented mechanical extraction without applied heat. Buyers can agree filtration, natural flavour and packing requirements for an edible grade, with each lot assessed against the accepted specification.
Quality parameters
Specifications and buying requirements
Illustrative RFQ targets and purchasing requirements, subject to production or supply confirmation and buyer approval. These are not a stock COA or a universal grade. Specify the reporting basis, sampling and test method; the accepted offer defines the final quality and delivery limits. Illustrative RFQ values for discussion. The cold-pressed claim requires production records; a chemical result alone cannot verify the extraction method. Final limits depend on the market and intended use.

Applications
Common uses
For bottled culinary flaxseed oil, dressings and food formulations that need a declared cold-pressed ingredient. Review the oil in the buyer's actual formulation and storage conditions. Buying detail: Specify whether the purchase requires only cold-pressed processing or additional organic, non-GM or origin evidence. These are separate claims and require their own supporting documents; none follows automatically from cold pressing.
Export planning
Shipping & logistics
Food-contact drums, IBCs or a compatible food-grade bulk system can be assessed for the order. Agree protection from light and oxygen, the transport temperature plan, shelf-life evidence and import documents before loading. Suitable sea shipments may use FOB, CFR or CIF at the agreed named port; the quotation states the Incoterms edition.
