Why wood-pressed?

We press the seeds slowly in a traditional wooden ghani (marachekku) at low speed, so the oil stays cool and keeps its natural nutrients, aroma and taste. No chemicals, no refining, no bleaching, no preservatives – just seeds, pressed fresh in small batches.

FAQs

Is this the dark sesame oil used in Chinese cooking?
No. That oil is made from roasted seeds. Ours is from raw seeds – lighter in colour and taste, the way it is used in Indian homes.

Can I use it for daily cooking?
Yes. Many families in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka cook with it every day.

Is the 200ml bottle the same oil?
Yes, the 200ml bottle is the same oil in a smaller size for massage and oil pulling.

Storage: Best before 12 months from packing. Keep in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. A little natural sediment is normal.
