Wood Pressed Oils – Pure Wood Pressed Mustard, Coconut, Groundnut & Sesame Oil in India

Traditional Indian households once relied on wood pressed oils extracted using the ghani method. Before industrial refining became common between the 1970s and 1990s, edible oils were produced slowly in wooden presses operating at low speeds.

At Doodhvale Farms, we continue this traditional process while combining it with modern quality standards.

Our wood pressed oils are extracted below 40°C using a slow wooden ghani process, without chemicals, refining, bleaching, or deodorisation.

What Are Wood Pressed Oils?

Wood pressed oils, also called cold pressed oils, are extracted using a traditional wooden press without applying external heat or chemicals.

Key Technical Features

• Extraction temperature below 40°C

• Slow rotation speed of 15–25 RPM

• Mechanical pressing only

• No chemical solvents like hexane

• Naturally filtered without chemical clarification

Because the oil is extracted slowly at low temperatures, it retains its natural nutrients, aroma, and flavour.

Nutrients Preserved in Wood Pressed Oils

• Vitamin E (Tocopherols)

• Polyphenols

• Phytosterols

• Natural fatty acids

These nutrients are often lost when oils are refined at high temperatures.

Why Temperature Matters

When oils are heated above 100°C during industrial extraction, the following can happen:

• Breakdown of healthy fatty acids

• Loss of natural aroma and flavour

• Reduction in antioxidants

• Formation of free radicals

Wood pressed oils avoid this because the entire extraction process happens below 40°C.

Wood Pressed Oil vs Refined Oil

Why Refined Oils Lose Nutrients

Refined oils usually go through multiple stages:

• Degumming

• Neutralisation

• Bleaching

• Deodorisation

• Winterisation

Each stage removes more of the oil’s natural nutrients and flavour.

Why Most “Cold Pressed Oils” Are Not Truly Cold Pressed

The term “cold pressed oil” is often used loosely in India.

Many brands use metal expellers that generate temperatures between 80–120°C, but still market the oil as cold pressed.

Some brands also blend refined oil with a small quantity of cold pressed oil.

How to Identify Genuine Wood Pressed Oil

A genuine wood pressed oil usually has:

• Strong natural aroma

• Slight cloudiness or turbidity

• Thicker texture

• Seasonal variation in colour

Crystal clear oil with no smell is usually refined.
