Morphology
The noun phrase is compositionally built: 'expressed' (extracted by pressing) + 'almond' + 'oil' yields an oil obtained by pressing almonds. This is a straightforward compositional pattern found cross-linguistically (e.g., 'pressed almond oil'), so a B1 learner who knows the constituent meanings would readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Expressed almond oil uses expressed in the simple sense 'to press or squeeze out'; almonds are pressed to force out their pale yellow oil, so expressed almond oil means oil 'pressed from almonds', which is why it is used in cooking, cosmetics, and medicines.
