HOW IT'S MADE
From seed to bottle, every step matters. Experience our 7-step traditional wood-pressing journey designed to preserve food purity.
STEP 01Seed Sourcing
Carefully Sourced Seeds
We source premium, non-GMO groundnuts, black sesame, copra, and mustard seeds directly from trusted agricultural farms. Every seed batch is inspected for maturity, oil content, and natural cleanliness.
STEP 02Cleaning & Sun-Drying
Natural Dehusking & Moisture Removal
Seeds are winnowed to remove plant debris, stones, and dust. They are then spread under natural sunlight to reduce moisture levels, ensuring optimal extraction without needing artificial heat dryers.
STEP 03Traditional Preparation
Crushing Preparation
For sesame oils, natural palm jaggery is blended in carefully calibrated ratios. This traditional South Indian technique tempers seed bitterness and infuses natural trace minerals into the extraction.
STEP 04Wood / Chekku Pressing
Slow Cold Pressing
The seeds are crushed inside Vaagai wood vats using solid wooden pestles rotating at slow speeds. Friction heat is kept below 38°C, preserving raw vitamins, unrefined aroma, and natural color.
STEP 05Natural Cotton Filtration
No Solvents or Chemicals
Extracted oil settles in stainless steel containers for 48 hours. It is then passed through natural unbleached cotton fabric to strain seed sediment without chemical solvents or thermal heaters.
STEP 06Quality Bottling
Small-Batch Packing
The clear, pure oil is packed in food-grade amber bottles and jars to shield it from ambient light degradation and preserve peak aroma.
