Pure, fresh cold-pressed cooking oils — Wood-pressed, Chemical-free & Delivered in Bangalore

Pure, fresh cold-pressed cooking oils are the natural choice for anyone who values taste, nutrition and traditional extraction methods. At Sutrakart we deliver small-batch, wood-pressed coconut, sesame, groundnut and sunflower oils across Bangalore — pressed gently at low temperatures to preserve natural nutrients, aroma and flavour. Our oils arrive sealed in premium packaging (glass bottles or steel cans) and we offer same-day or next-day delivery across most Bangalore localities.

Industry-first packaging initiative: We were one of the first in Karnataka to introduce the full cold-pressed range in glass bottles and steel cans. To date we’ve supplied 540,000 PET bottles across Karnataka while accelerating the transition to eco-friendly glass and steel packaging.

Why choose cold-pressed oils from Sutrakart?

Many commercially available oils go through chemical refining that strips flavour and nutrients. Our cold-pressed oils are mechanically pressed at low temperatures (wood-pressed / kachi ghani method), retain essential fatty acids and antioxidants, and are minimally filtered so natural micronutrients remain.

• 100% mechanical extraction: No solvent-based refining.
• Low-temperature pressing: Preserves heat-sensitive nutrients like vitamin E.
• Small-batch production: Pressed and dispatched quickly for freshness.
• Glass & steel packaging: Premium protection against oxidation — now available across our range.
• Traceability: Batch number, extraction date and mill origin printed on every bottle.

Our range — coconut, sesame, groundnut & sunflower

Health benefits of using cold-pressed cooking oils

Cold-pressed oils retain more of the natural bioactive compounds compared to refined oils. Their benefits vary by oil type, but overall advantages include:

• Nutrient retention: Higher levels of antioxidants, vitamins and phytonutrients.
• No solvent residues: Mechanical extraction removes the risk of residual chemicals like hexane.
• Better flavour & satiety: Natural flavours often enhance the perceived taste and satisfaction from meals.
• Functional uses: Many cold-pressed oils are used in Ayurvedic therapies and traditional self-care practices.

Specific highlights

Coconut oil: Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that are used for energy and hair/skin care.

Sesame oil: Antioxidants like sesamol help preserve oil and offer health-supporting properties.

Groundnut oil: Vitamin E and favorable cooking properties for Indian cuisine.

Sunflower oil: Naturally rich in vitamin E and polyunsaturated fats.

How our wood-pressed cold pressing process works

We source top-quality seeds and copra, clean and dry them to optimal moisture and then use slow mechanical wood presses (kachi ghani / mara chekku) or modern low-temperature screw presses depending on the oil. Key stages:

1. Sourcing: Traceable seeds from partner farmers and certified organic suppliers where applicable.
2. Cleaning & drying: Remove debris and set moisture for safe pressing.
3. Cold pressing: Mechanical pressing at controlled temperatures to reduce degradation of nutrients.
4. Settling & gentle filtration: Natural settling followed by light filtration to retain natural compounds.
5. Bottling & labelling: Food-grade packaging, batch coding, and extraction dates for traceability.

We avoid deodorizing, bleaching or chemical refining so the oils retain aroma and nutrients. This means the oils may have natural cloudiness or sediment — a sign of minimal processing, not adulteration.

Packaging, sustainability & our industry-first initiative

Packaging matters for both product quality and environmental impact. We were one of the first companies in Karnataka to bring our full cold-pressed oil range in glass bottles and steel cans — packaging that better protects oil from light and oxidation and reduces long-term plastic waste.

Our track record: To date we have supplied 540,000 PET bottles across Karnataka while actively converting customers to glass and steel options. We also run a limited returnable glass bottle program to minimise single-use plastic.

• Glass and steel increase shelf stability and are easier to recycle.
• Returnable bottle program reduces waste and supports circularity.
• Sustainable sourcing: we partner with smallholders and presses that follow environmentally mindful practices.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Q: What does "cold pressed" mean?

A: Cold pressed refers to mechanical extraction where oil is obtained without using chemical solvents and without excessive heat that would degrade heat-sensitive nutrients. Temperatures are controlled to preserve vitamins, antioxidants and natural flavour.

Q: How is wood-pressed (kachi ghani) different?

A: Wood-pressed or kachi ghani uses traditional wooden ghani presses that rotate slowly and apply gentle pressure. It’s a traditional form of cold pressing that emphasizes very low heat and minimal mechanical stress.

Q: Are these oils safe for infants and children?

A: Coconut oil is commonly used topically for baby massage. For dietary introduction or if there are allergy concerns (especially with groundnut oil), consult a pediatrician. For topical use, follow standard pediatric advice.

Q: How long do cold-pressed oils last?

A: Stored in a cool, dark place, most cold-pressed oils are best used within 6–12 months. Glass or steel packaging helps extend freshness by limiting light exposure and oxygen contact.

Q: Why do some cold-pressed oils look cloudy or have sediment?

A: Minimal filtration leaves natural microscopic particles and micronutrients in the oil, which can create cloudiness or sediment — this is normal and often an indicator of unrefined, natural oil.

Q: Can I deep fry with cold-pressed oils?

A: Cold-pressed oils typically have lower smoke points than highly refined oils. They excel at low-to-medium heat cooking, dressings and finishing. For repeated high-heat deep frying, refined oils are commonly used for safety and stability.

Q: Do you provide lab reports or testing certificates?

A: We perform internal batch checks for free fatty acids, peroxide values and sensory profiles. On request, we can share internal test summaries; official third-party lab certificates are available for specific batches if required (may incur additional processing time).

Q: What payment methods do you accept?

A: We accept UPI, major credit/debit cards, netbanking and Cash on Delivery (COD) in eligible pin codes across Bangalore.

Q: Do you offer wholesale or bulk supply?

A: Yes — we supply cafes, restaurants, and retailers with flexible packaging and scheduled deliveries. Contact our business sales team for pricing and logistics.

Q: How do I know the oil is not adulterated?

A: Transparency is key. We provide batch numbers, processing dates and supplier origin on labels. If you suspect adulteration, contact us with the batch number and photos and we will investigate immediately.

Q: Are your sunflower seeds and other seeds organic?

A: Some SKUs are certified organic. Product pages and labels specify organic certification where applicable.
