Why Is Wood Pressed Oil Costly?
-
Traditional Extraction Method
Oil is extracted slowly using wooden ‘Chekku’ or ‘Ghani’ at 2–4 RPM. This method is time-consuming and yields less oil compared to industrial refining. -
Higher Quantity of Seeds Used
Producing 1 liter of wood pressed oil requires more raw seeds (mustard, sesame, groundnut, etc.) than refined oil. -
No Chemicals or Boosters
No chemical solvents like hexane are used to extract every drop, meaning less quantity but higher purity. -
Cold Process, No Heat Damage
Extracted at below 35°C, preserving nutrients—but making the process slower and more delicate. -
Labor-Intensive and Handmade
Involves manual processes—from seed selection to oil extraction and filtration—unlike factory automation. -
Nutrient-Rich & Healthier
Retains Vitamin E, Omega-3, and antioxidants, offering real health benefits—justifying the premium price. -
Small-Batch, Sustainable Production
Often made by small local producers using eco-friendly practices, not mass-produced in factories.
-
Minimal but Quality Packaging
Often packed in glass bottles or food-grade containers, adding to the cost but ensuring purity.
Wood pressed oil is not expensive—it’s valuable. You pay for purity, nutrition, and tradition, not just quantity.
