means A method of extracting juice or oil by mechanical pressure alone, avoiding the heat that faster processing methods generate.

from From 'cold' plus 'press,' describing the process literally: the material (fruit, olives, seeds) is pressed rather than heated or treated with solvents to release its liquid. The term rose alongside industrial juicing and oil-making, where 'cold-pressed' became a marketing label distinguishing slow mechanical extraction from cheaper heat-based or chemical processes — heat and chemicals being faster but destructive to certain nutrients, enzymes, and flavor compounds.
