Wood Pressed Oil – 100% Pure, Traditional & Nutrient-Rich Cooking Oils

Wood pressed oil, also known as chekku oil or ghani oil, is extracted using traditional wooden churners (vaagai wood kolhu). At Sutrakart, we bring you the purest, chemical-free edible oils for everyday use. Sourced from naturally grown seeds and pressed without heat or solvents, our oils are ideal for cooking, skincare, baby care, and wellness.

What is Wood Pressed Oil?

Wood pressed oils are extracted using a low-speed wooden ghani machine, usually made from vaagai (Indian elm) wood. This method ensures that oil is extracted at a temperature below 45°C, retaining vital nutrients, enzymes, aroma, and flavor. Unlike refined oils, they are not bleached, deodorized, or chemically treated.

Why Choose Wood Pressed Oils?

  • 100% Natural: No chemicals, preservatives, or artificial colors
  • High Nutrient Retention: Vitamins, polyphenols, and antioxidants preserved
  • Traditional Extraction: Vaagai wood does not react with oil and enhances shelf life
  • Better Taste & Aroma: Authentic flavor perfect for Indian cooking
  • Multipurpose Use: Ideal for cooking, skincare, hair care, and baby massage
