Wood Cold Pressed Sesame Oil

Gramiyaa's cold pressed sesame oil is extracted from black sesame seeds which are a richer source of antioxidants compared to white sesame seeds.

At Gramiyaa, we extract cold pressed sesame oil from non-toasted seeds. Instead, the seeds are sun-dried to retain maximum taste and aroma in the cold pressed sesame oil.

Sesame seeds are tiny and get stuck in the stone mill's uneven surface. So we add a bit of jaggery to help them bind and avoid sticking. At cold-pressing oil temperatures, the jaggery doesn't melt into the oil but becomes part of the leftover oil cake. This way, the final cold pressed sesame oil is pure without any jaggery traces, and the jaggery is left in the discarded oil cake.

Though cold pressed sesame oil is bold and flavourful, it’s the healthiest alternative to refined sunflower oil and suits daily Indian cooking. It's best for suited for sautéing and pickling.

Apart from cooking, cold pressed sesame oil is also used for skin and hair massages.

Gramiyaa products are minimally processed to retain the original taste, aroma and nutrition. And so flavour and colour slightly varies from batch to batch. If you are not satisfied with the quality, please reach out to us for a return/exchange.
