Is this refined or unrefined?

The label says "cold pressed to preserve the natural nutritional content" so I believe it is not "refined" in the typical sense. It is a clear oil with a mild nutty taste. I keep it in the refrigerator at all times and it does not thicken. I use it for cooking, salad dressings, etc. Another excellent oil is avocado oil.

Refining involves use of solvents and high heat. Since it's cold pressed that would mean, if the label is true, it is not refined. However, it might be filtered. I would call Swanson if it matters a lot to you. 800-437-4148 or go to http://www.SwansonVitamins.com

Refining has nothing to do with the pressing technique used to extract the oil from the nut. So, a cold pressed oil can then be refined by filtering, etc. If this is unrefined, then the company should state that fact.

A couple of days ago, I sent an email to Swanson asking the same question and they replied to me that the product is unrefined. I rewrote to them suggesting that that piece of information be clearly included on the label.

The one I got has a polished finish. They may have other finish options, but I didn't see them.

It is not polished or glossy. It is in fact brushed. Has a soft tone to it.

Sounds like it was not sanded enough. Finish should have been the the sample provided before top coating.

Yes, it is coarse, but there is powder in the bag. We think it might have broken up some during shipping.

It is 100% EMU Oil. The bottle does not state that it is refined. Not certain that refined is good when it comes to emu oil. for further research this is the website listed on the bottle: www.pureskinrepair.com

I don't think it's raw...it's definitely been pasturized or strained as there are no bits of honeycomb etc floating in it

The product description says it is refined. My batch was pale yellow and odorless, no smell whatsoever. I loved the product and the packaging and would buy this product again.

Mine is brand new, and it does not grind finely at all. Everything is coarse, even when it's on the finest setting. I am going to return this.

Chris, In rechecking the information on line I didn't find that it is cold-milled. I don't have my packet it was packaged in so my answer is I didn't find that it is.

Yes it is ... however be careful of which type you buy, there are a couple options such as coarse (which needs to be ground up into usable crystals) or finely ground. They're both the same product but one has already been ground and ready to use, the other one hasn't (some folks prefer grinding their own cuz they like to choose how coarse/fine they want the crystals).

It is unpolished aluminum, like brushed aluminum but smooth. The outside is polished aluminum. The funnel works great for straining grease from my fish cooker.

The bottom is very lightly "grainy", almost undetectable. That is, it is not machine polished (shiny) but it is smooth. The entire surface has a very slightly "pebbly" surface--very fine and miniscule--only seen in "close-up". It will take a seasoning just fine and, ultimately with use, will become smooth. Also, the entire surface of the skillet is very uniform. I'm very satisfied with the quality of the casting and the skillet.

Label says PURE Himalayan Crystal Culinary Salt Dark Pink Natural & Kosher Certified www.THESPICELAB.Com I think it is unrefined. I love it! The darker the color, the more minerals.
