Our oils — descriptions & best uses

Cold-Pressed Coconut Oil (Wood-Pressed)

Made from freshly sun-dried copra and pressed in wooden ghani, our coconut oil retains the sweet, natural aroma of coconut and beneficial medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). Best for medium-heat cooking, hair treatments, baby massage, and oil pulling.

  • Use: Sautéing, light frying, skin & hair care
  • Storage: Solidifies in cool temperatures — normal
  • Sizes: 200 ml, 500 ml, 1 L

Cold-Pressed Sesame (Gingelly) Oil

Pressed from premium sesame seeds using low-temperature wood-press methods to preserve sesamol and sesamin — natural antioxidants that support shelf-life and health. Ideal for tempering, dressings, and Ayurvedic massage.

  • Use: Tempering, dressings, abhyanga (massage)
  • Benefits: High antioxidant content, warming properties
  • Sizes: 200 ml, 500 ml, 1 L

Cold-Pressed Groundnut (Peanut) Oil

Cold-pressed from high-quality groundnuts to retain vitamin E and plant sterols. A versatile oil with a light, pleasant taste, perfect for south Indian and Karnataka-style cooking and for shallow frying.

  • Use: Shallow frying, sautés, traditional tempering
  • Note: Not recommended for those with severe nut allergies
  • Sizes: 500 ml, 1 L, 5 L

Health benefits — why cold-pressed oils are better

Cold-pressed oils preserve nutrients that refined oils often lose during high-heat processing and chemical refining. Here are some of the nutritional and wellness advantages:

  • Higher nutrient retention: Vitamins (E and others), natural antioxidants, and beneficial phytochemicals remain largely intact.
  • No chemical residues: Because we use mechanical extraction only, there is no risk of solvent residues like hexane that are used in industrial refining.
  • Natural flavor and aroma: Enhances the taste of traditional dishes without artificial flavours.
  • Suitable for therapeutic uses: Many oils—particularly sesame and coconut—are used in Ayurveda for massage and wellness treatments.

How our wood-pressed cold pressing works (traditional ghani method)

We follow the time-honoured kachi ghani (wooden ghani / mara chekku) process that yields pure, minimal-heat extracted oils. The key steps:

  1. Seed selection: High-grade, cleaned seeds or copra are chosen for consistency and flavour.
  2. Low-temperature pressing: Wooden ghani crushes the seeds slowly; friction is low and heat is minimized to retain nutrients.
  3. Settling: Fresh oil is allowed to settle so heavier particulates sink naturally.
  4. Filtration: Light filtration through muslin or food-grade filters to remove solids while retaining natural micronutrients.
  5. Quality checks: Each batch is labelled with extraction date and origin and undergoes basic purity checks.

This gentle process takes longer than industrial extraction but the result is a full-flavoured, nutrient-rich oil that modern refining often strips away.

Recipes & everyday uses — get the most from your cold-pressed oils

1. Coconut Oil — Vegetable Stir-Fry (Quick Weeknight)

  1. Heat 1 tbsp cold-pressed coconut oil in a pan on medium flame.
  2. Add 1 tsp mustard seeds and 1 sprig curry leaves; let them pop.
  3. Add chopped seasonal vegetables, sprinkle salt, and stir-fry for 6–8 minutes.
  4. Finish with fresh coriander and a squeeze of lemon. Serve with rice or rotis.

2. Sesame Oil — Warm Salad Dressing

  1. Whisk 2 tbsp cold-pressed sesame oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp honey, salt & pepper.
  2. Drizzle over warm roasted vegetables or paneer for an aromatic finish.

3. Groundnut Oil — Lightly Spiced Pakoras

  1. Mix gram flour, chopped onions, green chillies, salt, and a pinch of baking soda with water to make a thick batter.
  2. Heat groundnut oil for shallow frying; drop spoonfuls of batter and fry until golden.
  3. Serve hot with chutney.

4. Hair & Skin Rituals

Warm coconut oil slightly and massage it into the scalp 30–60 minutes before shampooing for deep nourishment. For body massage (abhyanga), sesame oil warmed slightly provides warmth and softens the skin.

5. Ayurvedic Self-Care Uses

Sesame oil is commonly used in Ayurveda for nasal therapies and body massage due to its warming and grounding properties. Always consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for therapeutic protocols.

Cold-Pressed vs Refined Oils — an honest comparison

Feature Cold-Pressed Oils Refined Oils
Extraction Mechanical, low-heat (wood/stone press) Chemical solvents, high heat, bleaching
Nutrient retention High Significantly reduced
Flavour Natural, aromatic Neutral or bland
Suitability for raw uses Yes — dressings, massages No — often chemically processed
Shelf-stability Good with antioxidants, best stored properly Longer but often due to additives

While refined oils are cheaper and sometimes required for industrial high-heat frying, cold-pressed oils are the healthier and tastier option for everyday cooking, dressing and therapeutic uses.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Q: What does "cold-pressed" actually mean?

Cold-pressed means the oil was extracted mechanically without raising temperatures that would significantly degrade nutrients. It implies no chemical solvents were used during extraction.

Q: Is wood-pressed (kachi ghani) different from cold-pressed?

Wood-pressed is a traditional method of cold pressing where wooden ghani presses extract oil slowly. It's a subtype of cold-pressing emphasising mechanical wooden presses and low heat.

Q: Are these oils safe for infants?

Topical use: Coconut oil is commonly used for baby massage; however, for dietary introduction or if your child has allergies, consult a pediatrician first.

Q: How long does cold-pressed oil last?

When stored properly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, most cold-pressed oils last 6–12 months. Coconut oil may solidify in cooler temperatures — this is normal and does not indicate spoilage.

Q: Do you offer returns if I don’t like the taste?

We accept returns for damaged or quality-related issues. For taste preferences, we recommend trying smaller bottles first. Reach out to our support team for assistance within the returns window.

Q: Are these oils organic?

We source from trusted mills and farmers; some SKUs are organic-certified. Check the product page for organic certification badges and farm source details.

Q: I have a peanut allergy — is groundnut oil safe?

Groundnut oil may still contain allergenic proteins in trace amounts. People with severe peanut allergies should avoid using groundnut oil unless cleared by an allergist.

Q: Do you supply restaurants and retail stores?

Yes — we provide bulk packaging and regular supply plans for restaurants, caterers, and retail outlets in Bangalore. Contact our sales team for pricing and delivery schedules.

Q: How can I be sure oil isn't adulterated?

We maintain batch numbers, extraction dates, and basic purity checks. If you suspect adulteration, notify us immediately and we will investigate with the supplier or offer a replacement/refund.

Q: Can I choose glass packaging?

Glass is available for selected variants and sizes. Choose glass at checkout when the option is listed.

Q: Do you provide lab reports?

We provide internal batch test summaries for key quality parameters on request. For official external lab certificates, please contact sales for the specific SKU and batch as some tests may incur charges.

Q: What payment methods are accepted?

We accept UPI, credit & debit cards, netbanking and Cash on Delivery (COD) in Bangalore where COD is available.

Q: How do subscriptions work?

Choose ‘Subscribe & Save’ on product pages to receive regular deliveries weekly or monthly. You can pause or cancel anytime via your account dashboard.

Q: Do cold-pressed oils smoke at lower temps than refined oils?

Cold-pressed oils retain more natural compounds that may lower the smoke point compared to refined oils. Use cold-pressed oils for medium-heat cooking, dressings, and finishing; for very high-heat deep frying, refined oils may be more suitable.
