Is your WPI cold pressed?Updated 4 days ago
We often get asked if our whey is 'cold-pressed.' While cold-pressing is a fantastic method for oils and juices, whey protein requires a more specialized scientific process to ensure the highest purity and safety. We believe in Total Transparency, so here is exactly how your protein moves from the farm to your pouch.
The 3-Step Journey to Purity:
1. The Separation First, the liquid whey must be separated from the casein (the curds). This is achieved by adding specific enzymes to heated milk. This causes the casein to coagulate, leaving behind the nutrient-rich liquid whey.
2. Precision Filtration Once separated, the liquid whey undergoes advanced filtration to strip away unwanted fats and lactose:
Micro-filtration: This creates our WPC 80, a protein-rich concentrate that retains some healthy dairy fats.
Ultra-filtration: An additional, finer filtration step that removes almost all remaining fats and lactose to create our WPI 90.
3. Evaporation & Drying Finally, these filtered liquids go through a controlled evaporation and spray-drying process. This turns the liquid into the fine, pure, and highly soluble protein powder you know and love.
Why we don't 'Cold-Press': True 'cold-pressing' isn't a viable or safe way to separate dairy proteins. By using our advanced filtration and drying methods, we can guarantee a product that is not only biologically active and easy to digest but also free from impurities.
