Cold pressed oils have emerged as the gold standard in healthy cooking across India, and for good reason. Unlike refined oils processed with chemical solvents and high heat, wood cold pressed oils retain their natural nutrients, flavour, and therapeutic properties. Nurtura offers premium quality wood cold pressed mustard oil and groundnut oil online in India, bringing traditional oil extraction methods directly to your kitchen door.
What Is Wood Cold Pressed Oil?
Wood cold pressed oil, also known as chekku oil or ghani oil, is extracted using a traditional wooden press (chekku) that slowly crushes oil seeds at low temperatures without applying heat or chemicals. This age-old method — used for centuries across India — preserves the natural fatty acids, vitamins, antioxidants, and aroma of the oil in their purest form. The result is an oil that is richer in nutrition, deeper in flavour, and far superior to any commercially refined alternative.
Benefits of Wood Cold Pressed Mustard Oil
Mustard oil has been a staple cooking medium in North and East Indian kitchens for generations. When extracted using the wood cold press method, its benefits are amplified significantly:
Rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids: Wood cold pressed mustard oil contains an ideal ratio of essential fatty acids that support heart health, reduce inflammation, and promote healthy brain function.
Natural Antimicrobial Properties: Mustard oil contains allyl isothiocyanate and glucosinolates, compounds with proven antibacterial and antifungal properties that help protect food and support gut health.
High Smoke Point: Cold pressed mustard oil has a high smoke point, making it suitable for sautéing, deep frying, and tempering spices without breaking down its beneficial compounds.
Skin and Hair Benefits: Beyond cooking, mustard oil is widely used in traditional Indian households for oil massage, scalp nourishment, and skin moisturisation.
Benefits of Wood Cold Pressed Groundnut Oil
Groundnut oil, extracted from premium peanuts using the cold wood press method, is a powerhouse of nutrition and taste:
High in Vitamin E: Cold pressed groundnut oil is an excellent source of Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress and supports immune function.
Heart-Healthy Monounsaturated Fats: Rich in oleic acid, cold pressed groundnut oil supports healthy cholesterol levels and cardiovascular wellness when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
Natural Peanut Aroma: Unlike refined groundnut oil, the wood pressed version retains the authentic, rich aroma of fresh groundnuts — elevating the flavour of every dish it touches.
Unrefined and Chemical-Free: Free from hexane, bleaching agents, and deodorisers, Nurtura’s cold pressed groundnut oil is 100% natural from seed to bottle.
