Cooking oil is one of the most important ingredients in every Indian kitchen. From daily vegetables to festive dishes, the type of oil you use can influence the taste, aroma, and overall quality of your food.
In recent years, many households have started exploring cold-pressed oils, a traditional method of oil extraction that focuses on preserving the natural qualities of seeds.
What is Cold-Pressed Oil?
Cold-pressed oil is extracted using a traditional wooden press (often called Ghani or Kachi Ghani) without excessive heat or chemical refining.
This process helps maintain the natural aroma, flavor, and character of the oil seeds.
Unlike heavily processed oils, cold-pressed oils are produced using slow extraction techniques, which keep the oil closer to its natural form.
Traditional Method, Natural Taste
India has a long tradition of using naturally extracted oils such as:
- Mustard oil
- Groundnut oil
- Sesame oil
- Coconut oil
These oils were commonly produced using wooden presses before modern refining processes became common.
Cold-pressed oils help bring back this traditional taste and authenticity to everyday cooking.
Why Many Families Prefer Cold-Pressed Oils
Many households today are choosing cold-pressed oils because they offer:
✔ Natural aroma and flavor
