Traditional Cold Pressed Oils from Wood & Stone Mills in a Modern Hygienic Facility

In today's fast-paced world, preserving tradition while embracing modern standards is a rare harmony. At Sutrakart, we bring you the best of both worlds through our authentic cold pressed oils, extracted using traditional wood and stone mills inside a modern hygienic facility. This method respects ancient techniques that have been proven to produce pure, nutrient-rich oils while meeting today's stringent hygiene standards.

What is Cold Pressing and Why Does It Matter?

Cold pressing is an extraction process that involves mechanically pressing seeds, nuts, or fruits to obtain oil without applying heat or chemicals. Unlike refined oils, which are often processed with high heat and solvents, cold pressed oils retain their natural flavor, aroma, and most importantly, their nutritional value.

The temperature during cold pressing is carefully controlled to remain below 60°C (140°F), which ensures that delicate vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids are preserved. This minimal processing approach offers a superior oil with a richer taste and numerous health benefits.

The Role of Traditional Wood and Stone Mills

Traditional wood and stone mills, often called ghani or chekku in India, have been used for centuries for oil extraction. These mills consist of large stone wheels powered manually or by motor, which slowly crush seeds and nuts to gently release the oil.

The slow, gentle crushing prevents the seeds from overheating or burning, unlike modern high-speed extraction methods. This preserves the oil’s natural nutrients and the unique taste that modern presses often fail to replicate.

At Sutrakart, our traditional mills are maintained and operated in a way that respects this heritage. We combine these time-tested techniques with modern equipment and hygiene practices to ensure the highest quality.

Modern Hygienic Facilities: Ensuring Safety Without Compromise

While the traditional methods provide authenticity and quality, modern hygiene practices guarantee safety and purity. Our facility is designed to meet rigorous cleanliness standards, including sterilized equipment, clean environments, and regular quality testing.

By housing our wooden and stone mills inside a state-of-the-art hygienic facility, we ensure that our cold pressed oils are free from contaminants, microbial growth, and spoilage, while still maintaining the natural extraction process.

Minimal Processing & Unheated Extraction: Preserving the Essence

One of the core principles of cold pressing is minimal processing. At Sutrakart, the oil extraction process avoids heat, chemicals, bleaching, or deodorizing. Our oils are unheated, preserving the full spectrum of natural nutrients like Vitamin E, Omega fatty acids, and antioxidants.

This not only makes the oils healthier but also ensures their natural aroma, flavor, and color remain intact—attributes highly valued by chefs, health enthusiasts, and traditional households alike.

Health Benefits of Traditional Cold Pressed Oils

The health advantages of cold pressed oils over refined oils are significant:

• Rich in Antioxidants: Natural antioxidants help fight free radicals, slowing down aging and reducing chronic disease risks.
• Retains Essential Fatty Acids: Cold pressing preserves Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids crucial for heart and brain health.
• Vitamin Preservation: Cold pressed oils contain fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K, which are lost in refined oils.
• Supports Digestion: These oils contain compounds that promote better metabolism and digestion.
• Improved Immunity: Natural phytochemicals in cold pressed oils boost the immune system.
