You Ask , We answer
What is wood pressed oil?
Wood pressed oil is extracted using a traditional wooden press (ghani) at a low temperature. This method retains the natural nutrients, aroma, and flavor of the oil, unlike refined oils which go through heat and chemical processing.
How should I store wood pressed oil?
Store it in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Because it is chemical-free and pure, it may have a shorter shelf life (6–9 months), so buy in small quantities for freshness.
Does wood pressed oil have a strong flavor?
Wood pressed oils usually have a natural, nutty aroma and taste. The flavor is mild but authentic, and it enhances the taste of food compared to refined oils which are often neutral.
Can I use wood pressed oil for cooking at high temperatures?
Yes, most wood pressed oils like groundnut, sesame, and coconut oil have a good smoke point, making them suitable for frying, sautéing, and everyday cooking. However, some oils (like flaxseed) are better for salads or low-heat cooking.
Is wood pressed oil healthier than refined oil?
Yes. Since no chemicals, heat, or preservatives are used, wood pressed oil preserves antioxidants, vitamins, and healthy fats, making it a healthier option for cooking and overall wellness.
