Cold Wood Pressed Black Sesame Oil

Cold Wood Pressed Black Sesame Oil — dark brown, deeply nutty, rich in natural minerals. Black sesame carries more minerals and a far stronger flavour than white, and cold pressing in a wooden chekku keeps all of it. The colour is dark brown and the aroma is unmistakable. Traditionally the oil reached for when the purpose is strength — hair, bones, joints — as much as taste. 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 • Hair oil: massage into the scalp and leave for an hour or overnight. • Joint and body massage, warmed. • Tempering and finishing where you want a strong, toasty note. • A spoon in rice or idli podi. 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 ₹480 per litre. 1 litre = 910 grams. • Pressed in small batches and packed fresh to order.
