🟡 Cold-Pressed White Sesame Oil | Wooden Expeller (≤50°C)
Premium, single-origin, cold-pressed sesame oil (til oil) 🌱 made from certified-organic white (light-brown → cream) unhulled sesame seeds. Extracted on a traditional wooden press at just 50°C 🪵🔥, this method retains natural antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals for superior nutrition and authentic taste.
This oil has a light golden hue ✨, a mild nutty aroma 🌰, and a delicate taste, making it a staple in Indian, Asian, and Mediterranean cuisines 🍲. Beyond the kitchen, it is also cherished as a base oil in Ayurveda for abhyanga (massage therapy) 💆♂️ and as a carrier oil in natural skincare 🌸.
Why our discerning customers love this oil
- Certified organic seeds from Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan → hand-picked, hand-cleaned.
- Cold-pressed on a wooden expeller at ≤50°C (artisanal method) to retain flavor, natural antioxidants and nutrients. (Cold-pressed standard: extraction temperatures under ~50°C).
- Small-batch & unrefined: no solvents, no deodorization, no bleaching.
- Single-origin traceability from certified organic farms.
Process (what “cold-pressed @ 50°C on wooden expeller” means)
We press whole, unhulled white sesame seeds in a wooden expeller. The machine and gentle mechanical pressure extract oil while keeping the temperature below the 50°C ceiling typically used to qualify as “cold-pressed.” This preserves delicate tocopherols and lignans and yields a clean, light oil meant for everyday cooking.
Taste & Culinary Uses
- Flavor: Mild, creamy-nutty and light - won’t overpower subtle dishes. Try baking cakes or breads with this oil if you don't want to use ghee.
- Best uses: Sautéing, shallow-frying, baking, dressings, marinades and as a neutral finishing oil for roasted vegetables and delicate grains. Untoasted sesame oil has a relatively high smoke point and is suitable for cooking at medium-high heat.
Nutrition & Oil Chemistry
Fatty-acid profile:
- Oleic acid ~33-47% (MUFA)
- Linoleic acid ~39-50% (PUFA)
- Palmitic & stearic ~7-12% (SFA)
- Sesame oil is rich in natural vitamin E (tocopherols) and lignans (sesamin family).
