Cold Wood Pressed Sunflower Oil

Cold Wood Pressed Sunflower Oil — light, clean and unrefined. Nothing like the refined bottle from the supermarket. Pressed from whole sunflower seeds in a wooden chekku, never heated, never bleached. Refined sunflower oil is stripped colourless and odourless; this one stays pale gold and smells faintly of the seed, because everything that gives it that smell is still in there. Light on the stomach and neutral enough that it does not take over a dish. 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 • Everyday cooking where you want the food to taste of the food, not the oil. • Sautéing, shallow frying and gravies. • Baking and batters that need a neutral fat. • Salad dressings and raw preparations. 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.
