Cold Extracted Oils Using Wooden Chekku – Pure & Traditional

Cold Extracted Oils Using Wooden Chekku – Pure & Traditional

Cold Extracted Oils Using Wooden Chekku represent a time-tested Indian tradition of producing edible oils without heat or chemicals. This slow, mechanical extraction using a wooden ghani (known locally as "chekku" in Tamil) yields high-quality oils that retain nutrients, flavor, and aroma. These oils have been used for centuries in Indian households for cooking, skincare, and Ayurvedic applications.

What is Wooden Chekku?

A "Wooden Chekku" is a traditional wooden oil-press used to extract oil from seeds or nuts. It is operated at low RPM (revolutions per minute), ensuring the oil remains cool and doesn't lose nutritional value due to heat. The process is slow, but it ensures maximum extraction of nutrients and flavor from the raw ingredients.
