Gingelly Cold Pressed Oil

Gingelly Cold Pressed Oil – Wood-Pressed, Traditional Chekku

Our Gingelly (Sesame) Cold Pressed Oil is extracted from premium native sesame seeds using a traditional wooden cold-press (chekku / ghani) — a slow, low-heat process that preserves the oil’s natural nutrients, deep flavour, and characteristic aroma. Gingelly oil has been a cornerstone of South Indian cooking and Ayurvedic practice for centuries, and ours is made exactly as it always has been — pure, unrefined, and full of goodness.

How It’s Made – Step by Step

1. Native sesame seeds are sourced, cleaned, and inspected — no hybrid or chemically treated seeds.
2. The seeds are fed into a traditional wooden press (chekku), which rotates slowly at low speed — generating minimal heat to protect the oil’s natural properties.
3. The slow pressing extracts oil naturally without the use of any chemicals or solvents — unlike commercial solvent-extracted oils.
4. The extracted oil is allowed to settle naturally, separating the pure oil from any residual solids.
5. The oil is bottled without refining or bleaching — preserving its natural colour, deep aroma, and full nutritional value.

Cold-pressed gingelly oil retains its natural sesamin, Vitamin E, and rich sesame flavour that refined oils lose during high-heat processing — making it a far healthier and more authentic choice for South Indian cooking and daily wellness.
