Cold-Pressed vs. Regular Juice: What’s the Difference?

If you’ve seen “cold-pressed” on juice labels and wondered what it means, here’s a simple explanation.

Cold-pressed juices are made using a hydraulic press that extracts juice without heat. This method keeps more vitamins, enzymes, and nutrients intact. The result? A fresher taste and longer shelf life (when kept cold).

Regular juices (often made with centrifugal juicers) use fast spinning blades that generate heat, which can reduce nutrient content and cause faster oxidation.

In short, cold-pressed juice is the more natural, nutrient-rich option — ideal for health-conscious drinkers.
