Cold Wood Pressed White Sesame Oil

Cold Wood Pressed White Sesame Oil — Nallennai. The oil South Indian cooking was built on. White sesame seeds, wooden chekku, low temperature, no refining. Nallennai literally means 'good oil', and it has been the everyday oil of Tamil kitchens far longer than any refined bottle has existed. Light golden, nutty, and the one oil that genuinely belongs both in the food and on the body. WHY WOOD PRESSED A wooden chekku turns slowly. It does not heat the seed, so the oil keeps the vitamins, antioxidants and aroma that high-speed expellers and refineries burn off. Nothing is bleached out and nothing is added back. HOW TO USE • Pickles and vatha kuzhambu — it is the traditional and the correct choice. • Rice mixes: puliyodharai, ellu sadam, kootu. • Abhyanga — full-body oil massage, warmed slightly. • Oil pulling and scalp massage. GOOD TO KNOW • Natural sediment at the bottom of the bottle is normal — it is the seed, not an impurity. Shake before use. • Unrefined oil can thicken or set in cold weather. Stand the bottle in warm water to bring it back. • Priced at ₹620 per litre. 1 litre = 910 grams. • Pressed in small batches and packed fresh to order.
