Why Cold Pressed Oil?

Thoughtful Cooking Starts with Thoughtful Ingredients.

Cold-pressed oils are inspired by traditional extraction methods that focus on slower processing, minimal refinement, and preserving the natural aroma and character of the oil.

Your Grandmother Was Right About Oil.

Before industrial refining arrived in India, cooking oil was pressed fresh in a local ghani, a wooden press, slow mechanical pressure, no chemicals, no heat beyond natural friction. The oil came out golden, aromatic, and full of natural character.

Then industrial extraction changed everything.

As large-scale industrial refining became more common, cooking oils gradually became more neutral in flavour, appearance, and aroma.

Industrial-scale production

Traditional wood pressing and industrial refining follow very different approaches to oil extraction and processing.Industrial refining often involves multiple stages designed for large-scale production, shelf stability, and neutral flavour profiles. Traditional cold pressing focuses on slower extraction and naturally settled to preserve the oil’s natural aroma, flavour, & character.

"Many families today are simply looking for ingredients that feel closer to traditional cooking methods and less heavily processed."

Why Choose Our Cold-Pressed Oil

Why Many Families Prefer Cold-Pressed Oils

Many families prefer cold-pressed oils for their naturally rich aroma, traditional extraction methods, and naturally settled character that feels closer to everyday home cooking.

Vitamin E

A naturally occurring antioxidant present in many seeds and oils. Cold pressing helps retain more of its natural character compared to intensive refining processes.

Resveratrol

A naturally occurring antioxidant associated with groundnut oil and traditional cold-pressed extraction methods. May reduce significantly during intensive refining processes.

Phytosterols

Naturally occurring plant compounds found in many seeds and minimally processed oils. Their natural composition may reduce during intensive refining processes.

Natural Aroma Compounds

The warm, nutty fragrance when cold pressed oil hits a hot pan is intact volatile compounds not burning oil. These natural aroma compounds are often reduced during intensive refining processes.

Intact Fatty Acid Structure

Cold pressing focuses on slower extraction methods that help preserve the oil’s natural fatty acid composition.

Natural Lecithin

A naturally occurring component commonly found in minimally processed oils. Its natural composition may change during intensive refining and filtration processes.

Our Approach to Traditional Wood Pressing.

At Sattva Origin, we believe thoughtful products deserve thoughtful processes and clear quality standards.

Babul Wood
Press

Pressed using a traditional Babul wood Kachi Ghani, a slow mechanical extraction method that keeps temperatures below 50°C throughout. Wood absorbs the heat that steel expeller presses retain, keeping the oil genuinely cold-pressed from seed to bottle.

72-Hour Natural
Settling

 After pressing, the oil settles naturally for 72 hours without centrifuges, filter aids, or clarifying agents. Slight cloudiness or natural sediment in the bottle is evidence of an unrefined oil not a defect.

Carefully Sourced
Seeds

Seeds are sourced from traditional farming regions in Maharashtra known for oilseed cultivation. Single-origin, single-harvest never blended across regions or seasons.

Tested in Certified
Laboratories

Every batch is independently tested by NABL-accredited laboratories before it ships covering Quality, Nutrition, GMO content, and Shelf Life. Results are published publicly and verifiable using the batch number on your bottle.

Writing this after using almost half the bottle. The oil feels fresh, has a nice natural groundnut aroma, and the taste is really good. It genuinely feels much lighter and more natural than the refined oil we used earlier. Happy with the quality so far, will definitely order again.

Sattva Origin Groundnut oil - Highly recommended!! I am very impressed with Sattva Origin cold pressed groundnut oil. It has a lovely, fresh fragrance and is clearly of high quality. I appreciate that it's an authentic product manufactured in small batches, which really shows in the quality. Please note that you need less quantity of oil than you usually use. The packaging is also very secure—the bottle arrived sealed from the outside and even had an additional seal inside. Very happy with this purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions People Ask Before Switching.

Cold pressed groundnut oil has a ~160°C smoke point suitable for tadka, sautéing, parathas, and shallow frying. Sesame oil reaches ~177°C. Both cover the full range of everyday Indian cooking at medium heat.

Cold-pressed oils are typically less processed and retain more of their natural aroma, flavour, and nutritional character compared to heavily refined oils. Intensive refining processes may reduce naturally occurring aroma compounds and nutritional components found in oils.

Yes noticeably. The natural aroma compounds preserved through cold pressing give the oil a warm, nutty depth that many families associate with traditional cooking. Most families notice the difference in the first tadka.

Natural fibre sedimentation may 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 or usability of the oil.
