Basically, there are two ways of producing carrot oil. The two methods are....

1️⃣. Hot pressed method

2️⃣. Cold pressed method

Alright, we'll look at the difference between these two methods.

1. In cold pressing, oil is extracted at room temperature without the use of heat. Hot pressing involves extracting oil with the use of heat.

2. Another difference is that, cold pressed oil retains most of its nutrients, as compared to hot press method which retains just a small amount of nutrients, but smells good, especially when extracted with olive oil.

THE MAKING PROCESS.

1. The Hot pressed carrot oil method
   Method 1 of 2:

1
Wash, peel and grate the carrots.
Wash two or more carrots and use a vegetable peeler or knife to peel off the skin of the carrot and then you grate it. But make sure it's not too fin when you grate. It should be like salade carrot.

2
Place the grated carrots in a pot with oil.
Get out a fry pan and transfer the grated carrots into it and pour enough oil to cover the carrots. You can use oil such as olive(Goya), coconut.

3
Leave the oil to heat up on low heat with the carrots to cook for some minutes. The oil should start to turn orange as it slowly boils.

4
Strain the oil through cheesecloth or sieve. Turn off the cooker, take down the frying pan and place a piece of cheesecloth in a strainer. Slowly pour the oil and carrots through the cheesecloth or sieve to take out the waste.

5
Transfer the oil to a clean bottle and cover it. Place the oil in a cold coner of your room.
This oil can be stored and used for about 6-8 months.

Method 2.

COLD PRESSED METHOD

1. Follow step 1 of the first method.

2. Put the carrot in a glass jar and fill it up with oil. Stir it well and cover the jar. There are many other designs of jars you can use.

👉 Keep in a warm place for 1-2 weeks

👉 Every 2 days, take the jar and shake it well to enable a smooth infusion process. Only shake and do not open because it can attract dirt and gems into the oil which you don't want. As you keep shaking, you'll notice that the colour is also changing to yellow.

In 2 weeks, your carrot oil is ready, sieve it with a strainer and store in a clean bottle with a lid.
