What Are Cold Pressed & Wood Pressed Oils?

Cold pressed oils are mechanically extracted from seeds, nuts, or fruit pulp at low temperatures (typically below 45–50°C) to retain nutrients and volatile compounds. Wood pressed (Mara Chekku / Wooden Gani) refers to a traditional method where a wooden churn or stone/wooden press slowly crushes seeds—this gentle friction releases oil while preserving flavor and micronutrients.

Key Advantages

  • Nutrient retention: vitamin E, antioxidants and phytosterols remain intact.
  • Authentic flavor: natural nutty & floral aromas are preserved.
  • No solvents: no hexane or other chemical residues.
  • Sustainable: lower energy extraction and often small-batch production.

Our Range — Oils & Ghee

We stock a broad selection of edible and topical oils plus homemade A2 desi cow ghee. Each oil is described below with practical uses and benefits.

Marachekku Gingelly (Sesame) Oil

Wood pressed sesame oil — warm, nutty, and rich in sesamin and sesamol antioxidants. A South Indian kitchen essential and a classic Ayurvedic massage oil.

Uses: Tempering, dressings, hair & skin massage, and healing formulations.

Groundnut (Peanut) Oil — Cold Pressed

Light, nutty flavour ideal for pan-frying, shallow frying, and everyday cooking. When cold pressed carefully, it retains vitamin E and healthy fats.

Note: Contains peanut proteins — not for people with peanut allergies.

Virgin Coconut Oil — Wood Pressed

Extracted from fresh coconut meat to retain aroma and medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). Multi-purpose for cooking, skin and haircare.

Mustard Oil (Kachi Ghani)

Pungent, bold and traditionally pressed — excellent for pickles, strong-flavored curries and massage in colder months.

Safflower Oil — Cold Pressed

Light and neutral-tasting; good for salads and where a mild oil is needed. Often used in therapeutic and cosmetic blends.

Neem Oil — Cold Pressed (Non-Edible Uses)

Intensive, potent oil for topical formulations, organic farming and therapeutic applications (not for food use).

Castor Oil — Cold Pressed (Cosmetic Grade)

Thick, nutrient-dense oil used in hair growth serums, lash/brow conditioners, and as a carrier for therapeutic blends.

Homemade A2 Desi Cow Ghee

Slow-cooked ghee using A2 desi cow milk when available — rich, aromatic and prized in Ayurveda for digestion and nourishment.

Health Benefits & Nutritional Highlights

Across varieties, cold pressed oils retain beneficial minor components lost in refining. Below are general benefits and specific highlights by oil type.

General Benefits of Cold Pressed Oils

  • Preserve antioxidants (vitamin E, polyphenols)
  • Better fatty acid profiles (MUFAs & PUFAs)
  • No chemical residues — safer for long-term consumption
  • Natural flavor improves palatability and satisfaction

Oil-Specific Highlights

  • Gingelly (Sesame): sesamin, sesamol — antioxidant & anti-inflammatory.
  • Groundnut: vitamin E and phytosterols — supports skin & heart health.
  • Coconut: MCT-rich — useful in energy metabolism and topical hydration.
  • Mustard: contains allyl isothiocyanates with antimicrobial properties (traditional uses).
  • Safflower: light profile — good for salads and weight-management diets.

How to Use Cold Pressed Oils — Practical Guide

Cold pressed oils are versatile. They are favourable for a range of applications — from salads and very light sautéing to some frying where appropriate. That said, here’s a practical guideline:

Cooking (Everyday)

  • Salads & Dressings: Use raw cold pressed oils (sesame, safflower) for full flavor and nutrition.
  • Light Sautéing & Tempering: Use cold pressed oils for short, low-to-medium temperature cooking. The way we say it is: use cold press oils for very light sautéing and use refined oils for deep frying.
  • Occasional Shallow Frying: Groundnut cold pressed oil can work for quick shallow frying when not overheated; monitor temperature and avoid reuse.
  • Deep Frying: For prolonged high-temperature deep frying, refined oils or oils specifically processed for high smoke points are recommended to maintain food quality and safety.

Topical & Wellness Uses

  • Massage: sesame and coconut for warming and moisturizing.
  • Hair care: coconut and castor for nourishment and growth support.
  • Skin: light oils (almond, safflower) as moisturizers; neem for targeted therapeutic blends (diluted).

Cosmetic Formulation Notes

Use cosmetic-grade oils (refined or filtered as required) and keep clear separation between edible-grade and cosmetic-grade inventory. Provide COAs for cosmetic customers on request.

Smoke Points & Temperature Reference

Smoke point varies with oil type and degree of refinement. Use this table only as a guide — always monitor oil and avoid smoking.

Oil Approx Smoke Point (°C) Best Uses
Groundnut (Cold Pressed) ~160°C Light sautéing, occasional shallow frying
Sesame (Cold Pressed) ~177°C Finishing, stir-fry, dressings
Coconut (Virgin) ~177°C Medium heat cooking, baking, topical use
Mustard (Kachi Ghani) ~190°C High-flavor cooking, pickling (caution with aroma)
Safflower (Cold Pressed) ~160-230°C (varies) Salads, light cook

Tip: If oil starts to smoke, reduce heat or remove from pan. Smoking is an indicator of nutrient breakdown and potential off-flavors.

A: Generally, cold pressed oils are best for light sautéing, dressings and finishing. The way we phrase it: use cold press oils for very light sautéing and use refined oils for deep frying.

Q: How should I store cold pressed oils?

A: Store in a cool, dark place; use dark glass bottles for retail packs; reseal tightly after each use. Consume within 6–12 months depending on oil type.

Q: Are your oils organic?

A: Some lots are organic — request organic-certified batches (pricing & lead time differ due to audit requirements).

Q: Do you provide lab reports?
