- Cold pressed oil extraction is a strenuous project where the seeds of the cucumber are dried and pressed without application of heat with a bladder press or a hydraulic press to maintain the nutrients in the natural oil. Cucumber seeds actually contain a significant amount of oil. Due to this strenuous and difficult task, it may be easier to make a cucumber extract at home rather than cucumber oil which is a process of using cleaned and sliced cucumbers, macerating them in a blender and putting them through a cheesecloth. This mixture should be stored in a refrigerator and used within a few days blended into products.
