oil expeller -Growing & Pressing Your Own Seed Oil
When thinking about how to be prepared on the homestead, as well as building up a well-stocked pantry and long-term food storage supply, one of the things that I began thinking about is what I would do if I couldn’t get access to my favorite olive oil.Here in North Idaho, the climate isn’t conducive to growing my own olive trees, and while I love our lard, I’m not willing to melt my home-rendered lard or tallow to pour onto a salad for dressing. Yuck! This led me to look deeper into what it takes to produce my own oils at home.That’s how I first found a book written by Bevin Cohen called The Complete Guide to Seed and Nut Oils: Growing, Foraging, and Pressing. After reading his book, I knew I needed to get him on the Pantry Chat podcast to discuss this topic.
