Traditional Wood-Pressed Edible Oils

Nature's Oil.
Just as it should be.

Traditional wood pressing gently extracts oil without harsh chemicals or excessive heat, helping preserve its natural nutrients, authentic aroma and rich flavour. The result is a minimally processed oil that stays closer to its original form while meeting established quality standards.

Why Traditional Extraction Matters

One process keeps the seed intact.
The other takes it apart.

Refining is not a single step — it is a sequence of them. Each one is designed to strip something out: colour, aroma, character. Wood pressing simply presses.

From Seed to Bottle

How a wooden ghani makes oil

A wooden pestle turning slowly inside a wooden mortar. It is a slow, unhurried method — and that slowness is exactly the point.

Selecting desi seeds

Premium quality, carefully selected desi seeds — cleaned and sorted before they ever reach the ghani. What comes out of the press can only be as good as what goes in.

Pressing in wood, slowly

Seeds are mechanically pressed at low temperatures in a wooden ghani. The gentle, unhurried motion avoids the frictional heat that fast industrial presses generate.

No solvents. Ever.

No hexane, no chemical extraction, no bleaching and no deodorising. The oil is never asked to give up its colour or its smell.

Settled and naturally filtered

The oil is allowed to settle and is naturally filtered — clarity earned through patience rather than chemistry.

Freshly packed

Bottled fresh in small batches, with no artificial additives or preservatives — a clean-label product, exactly as it left the press.

The Range

No single oil does everything. Different oils offer different fatty acid profiles — which is precisely why using a variety of them supports a balanced diet.

The Real Cost Comparison

Wood-pressed oil is not as expensive as the label suggests

Because a wood-pressed oil carries its own flavour, most families find they need noticeably less of it per meal. Compare the monthly bill rather than the price per litre — move the sliders to match your own kitchen.

Per month, across all cooking

Per litre — typically ₹150–₹180

Per litre — typically ₹350–₹450

Reported usage falls from roughly 3–4 tbsp per family to 1.5–2 tbsp. Drag to zero to compare like for like.

Refined oil
3.0 L a month
₹495
Wood-pressed oil
1.5 L a month
₹600

The sticker price looks far higher, yet the real gap is only ₹105 a month for the whole family — because a wood-pressed oil goes further.

That is about ₹4 a day.
