What is cold pressed oil?

Cold pressed oil is extracted from seeds using a traditional wooden press (Mara Chekku) at temperatures below 50°C. It preserves natural nutrients, flavor, and aroma without chemicals.

Is Mara Chekku oil healthy?

Yes! Mara Chekku oil preserves Vitamin E, Omega-3 & 6 fatty acids, and natural antioxidants. It contains zero trans fats and no chemical residues.

What is the difference between refined and cold pressed oil?

Refined oil uses chemical solvents at high temperatures, destroying nutrients. Cold pressed oil is mechanically extracted at low temperatures, retaining all natural nutrients and flavor.

Why is wooden pressed oil more expensive?

Wooden pressed oil yields 30-40% less oil per batch. The process is slower, more labor-intensive, and uses premium seeds, but delivers far superior nutrition and taste.

Which is the best oil for Indian cooking?

Groundnut and sesame oils are ideal for South Indian cooking. Coconut oil is perfect for Kerala and Tamil Nadu cuisine.
