For centuries, it has been used not only in cooking but also in medicine and cosmetics. Scientists continue to discover new healing properties of bee honey, based on its truly unique physicochemical composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s no secret that the quality of honey depends on many factors: the bees\u2019 diet, the frequency of their feeding, and even the method of extraction. For decades, beekeepers have debated whether pressed honey differs from centrifugally extracted honey obtained with a honey extractor\u00a0\u2014 and which one is actually better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types and methods of honey extraction<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.craftoil.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/\u0420\u0430\u0437\u043d\u044b\u0439-\u043c\u0435\u0434-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"448\" height=\"242\" src=\"https:\/\/www.craftoil.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/\u0420\u0430\u0437\u043d\u044b\u0439-\u043c\u0435\u0434-2.jpg\" alt=\"Various honey\" class=\"wp-image-39189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.craftoil.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/\u0420\u0430\u0437\u043d\u044b\u0439-\u043c\u0435\u0434-2.jpg 448w, https:\/\/www.craftoil.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/\u0420\u0430\u0437\u043d\u044b\u0439-\u043c\u0435\u0434-2-300x162.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, natural bee honey can be obtained in two main ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>By pressing (pressed honey) \u2013 the honeycomb is crushed or squeezed to extract the liquid honey;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By honey extractor (centrifugal method) \u2013 a special device spins the honey frames at high speed so that the nectar flies out of the cells and settles on the walls of the drum. Then it flows down to the bottom and through a special tap into a storage container. This process is based on centrifugal force;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pressed vs extracted honey: key differences<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pressed honey has a stronger, more intense aroma with slightly tart notes. It often contains traces of wax and pollen, giving it a thicker, cloudier texture compared to honey extracted by centrifuge. Such honey tends to crystallize faster, turning into a sugar-like paste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Extracted honey (honey from a honey extractor) is much clearer and more liquid. It contains almost no impurities, which gives it a longer shelf life and makes it perfect for culinary and cosmetic use \u2014 for example, in baking, canning, sauces, or marinades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s important to note that even with the same number of frames, a honey extractor yields more nectar than pressing. Another key advantage is that frames remain intact and can be reused\u2014saving time and resources while being less stressful for the bees, since they don\u2019t need to rebuild new honeycombs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although pressed honey is sometimes called \u00abcraft\u00bb or \u00abauthentic\u00bb, this is not entirely correct, as it contains impurities that affect its taste, aroma, and nutritional value. Honey extracted using a stainless steel honey extractor is pure, clean, and free of any foreign particles (such as wax debris, air bubbles, or bee remains).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To obtain truly pure and healthy honey, beekeepers need reliable and functional honey extractors. Quality equipment allows optimal speed and gentle spinning while securely holding the frames in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Certified honey extractors by TM CraftOil<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.craftoil.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/\u041c\u0435\u0434\u043e\u0433\u043e\u043d\u043a\u0430-\u0434\u043b\u044f-\u043a\u0430\u0447\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0435\u043d\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e-\u043c\u0435\u0434\u0430-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"363\" height=\"336\" src=\"https:\/\/www.craftoil.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/\u041c\u0435\u0434\u043e\u0433\u043e\u043d\u043a\u0430-\u0434\u043b\u044f-\u043a\u0430\u0447\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0435\u043d\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e-\u043c\u0435\u0434\u0430-2.jpg\" alt=\"Honey extractor for high-quality honey\" class=\"wp-image-39192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.craftoil.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/\u041c\u0435\u0434\u043e\u0433\u043e\u043d\u043a\u0430-\u0434\u043b\u044f-\u043a\u0430\u0447\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0435\u043d\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e-\u043c\u0435\u0434\u0430-2.jpg 363w, https:\/\/www.craftoil.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/\u041c\u0435\u0434\u043e\u0433\u043e\u043d\u043a\u0430-\u0434\u043b\u044f-\u043a\u0430\u0447\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0435\u043d\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e-\u043c\u0435\u0434\u0430-2-300x278.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 363px) 100vw, 363px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>TM CraftOil has been producing flavorful, aromatic, and healthful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.craftoil.net\/en\/product\/sesame\/\">cold-pressed oils<\/a> for years, and also offers a wide range of professional beekeeping equipment.
