Why Cold Pressed Oil Tastes and Smells Different

I always wondered why cold pressed oil smells and tastes stronger than regular cooking oil, so I looked into it. Cold pressed oil is made by pressing seeds or nuts without using heat or chemicals. Because the process is gentle, the oil keeps its natural aroma, color, and taste. Refined oils go through high heat and chemical processing. This removes the natural smell and flavor, which is why refined oils feel more neutral. Common cold pressed oils include groundnut oil, mustard oil, coconut oil, and sunflower oil. Many people use them for traditional cooking because the natural flavor adds more depth to food. While reading about different options, I came across brands like All Square, but the main thing I learned is that the way oil is made directly affects how food tastes. Has anyone else noticed this difference?
