The extraction method will vary from species to species. Most essential oils are distilled; others are cold-pressed or solvent-extracted. Additionally, the plant part used will vary as well. Some oils are made from flowers; others are made from wood pulp, roots or leaves and needles. A few essential oils are "captured" in fat and then refined through an additional extraction method. Typically, these aren't referred to as essential oils but as absolutes.
