Dave,
 
My understanding of "cold pressed honey" is honey that has been pressed from
the comb and not subjected to any heating.  It is said that delicate flavors
and aromas, enzymes and other delicate components of raw honey are less
likely to be lost than they would be if the honey were extracted by a
centrifugal extractor and subjected to heating either for purposes of getting
it to flow more easily or for "pasteurization."  Cold pressed honey is often
sold at natural food stores at a premium price.
