A Thoughtful Process from Seed to Bottle
Thoughtfully Crafted from Seed to Bottle.
Every step of our process is designed to preserve the natural character of the oil, from sourcing and pressing to settling and bottling.
Tested
The Process
Groundnuts, sesame, and safflower seeds are carefully sourced from traditional farming regions in Maharashtra.
Why this matters: Careful sourcing helps maintain greater consistency in flavour, aroma, and overall quality.
What we check before pressing:
✓ Seed maturity and moisture content
✓ Absence of mould or contamination
✓ Correct seed variety
✓ Harvest season documentation
Cleaning Before Pressing.
Carefully cleaned before pressing.
Seeds are carefully cleaned before pressing to remove dust, debris, and damaged particles while preserving their natural quality.
Why this matters: Careful cleaning helps preserve the natural quality and integrity of the seeds before pressing.
Babul Wood Kachi Ghani.
Traditional Babul wood pressing is intentionally slow and gentle, helping preserve the oil’s natural aroma and character.
A Kachi Ghani is a traditional wooden press that extracts oil through slow mechanical pressure. Ours is made from Babul wood, traditionally valued for its heat-absorbing properties during slow wood pressing.
Speed matters too. Slower wood pressing allows the oil to be extracted more gradually using traditional methods.
72-Hour Natural Settling.
Naturally settled using traditional methods.
Freshly pressed oil settles naturally for 72 hours in open vessels. Heavier particles settle to the bottom. The oil above is siphoned carefully.
What this means for your bottle: Natural settling may occasionally result in slight cloudiness or fine sediment, which is common in minimally processed oils.
Lab-Tested Quality
Our oils are periodically tested in FSSAI-notified and NABL-accredited laboratories for:
✓ Quality & Purity
✓ Nutritional Composition
✓ Shelf Life & Stability
Products are quality checked to help maintain consistency across sourcing, pressing, and bottling.
Bottled and Batch Numbered.
Carefully bottled for freshness and consistency.
After quality checks, the oil is carefully bottled and batch numbered for consistency and freshness.Each bottle carries a batch number to support quality and transparency.

Questions About Our Process.
Traditional Babul wood pressing helps maintain lower extraction temperatures compared to high-speed industrial extraction methods, helping preserve the oil’s natural aroma and character.
Natural fibre sedimentation can occasionally appear in minimally processed cold-pressed oils. This is a normal characteristic of traditional wood-pressed extraction and natural settling methods. It does not affect the quality, purity, or usability of the oil. Simply shake gently before use if preferred.
Babul (Acacia nilotica) is a dense hardwood with natural heat-absorbing properties. It has been used in traditional Indian oil pressing for centuries because of its durability and suitability for slow wood pressing methods.
