What is Wood Pressed Oils?

Wood Pressed Oil is a type of natural cooking oil extracted using a traditional wooden press, also known as a Chekku or Ghani. In this slow and cold process, seeds like mustard, groundnut, sesame, or coconut are crushed at low speed (around 2–4 RPM) using a wooden or stone pestle.

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.

In Summary:

Wood pressed oil is not expensive—it’s valuable. You pay for purity, nutrition, and tradition, not just quantity.
