Why choose Wood Pressed Black Mustard Oil

Frequently Asked Questions

Wood-pressing is the traditional method of extracting oil — seeds are crushed slowly at low temperatures in a wooden kolhu, with no chemical processing involved. Refined oil goes through high-speed extraction followed by chemical treatment to remove its natural colour, smell, and taste, which is what leaves it flavourless and clear. Wood-pressing preserves the oil's natural character and nutrients.

Black mustard seeds are more pungent and stronger in flavour, giving this oil a sharper, more intense aroma and a slightly deeper colour — the classic sarson ka tel taste. Yellow mustard seeds give a comparatively milder pungency and a lighter golden colour, making this oil a good everyday choice for tempering and cooking.
