How it's made

How We Press

Five steps. No shortcuts.

Cold-pressing is slower and yields less oil per kilogram than solvent extraction. That's why most commercial oil isn't made this way. Here's exactly what we do instead.

  1. 01

    Sourcing the Seeds

    We source sesame, groundnut, coconut, and mustard seeds from trusted farmers across South India — choosing each region for the quality it is known for. Good oil starts with good seeds. We never compromise on raw materials.

    Cleaning and Preparing

    Every batch of seeds is cleaned and inspected before pressing. No shortcuts. The quality of the finished oil depends entirely on what goes in.

    Cold Pressing and Wood Pressing

    We press our oils in-house at our Secunderabad facility using two cold press machines and two traditional wooden ghani presses. Cold pressing extracts oil at low temperatures — below 40°C — so the natural nutrients, flavour, and aroma are fully preserved. No heat. No chemicals. No refining.

    Settling and Filtering

    After pressing, the oil is allowed to settle naturally. We filter it minimally — just enough to remove seed particles — without stripping any of the natural goodness.

    Bottling

    The oil is bottled fresh at our facility. No preservatives. No bleaching. No deodorising. What goes into the bottle is exactly what came out of the press — pure, natural oil the way your grandparents knew it.
