Cold-Pressed Oils: Pure, Traditional Cooking Oils for the Indian Kitchen

Think back to the oil that was used in your grandmother's kitchen. It was pressed slowly from whole seeds, never rushed, never bleached, and you could smell it the moment it hit a hot tadka pan. That is the oil we set out to bring back. Two Brothers India Farms cold-pressed oils are extracted without added heat or chemical solvents, so the aroma, flavour and natural goodness of the seed stay in the bottle. Whether you cook with groundnut, black mustard, sunflower or coconut, there is a cold-pressed oil here for every dish you love.

About Two Brothers Cold-Pressed Oils

At Two Brothers India Farms, we believe the food on your plate should be honest. Our cold-pressed oils are made from carefully sourced seeds and kernels, pressed the traditional way, and filtered simply, with no additives and no preservatives. When you buy cold-pressed oil online from us, you are choosing oil that tastes like the ingredient it came from, and that fits the way Indian families actually cook: frying, tempering, sautéing, roasting and everything in between.

What is Cold-Pressed Oil? Understanding the Traditional Way of Extraction

Cold-pressed oil, often called wood-pressed or kachi ghani oil, is made by slowly pressing seeds or kernels to squeeze the oil out, without adding external heat and without using chemical solvents. Because the oil is never exposed to high temperatures during extraction, more of its natural flavour, colour and nutrients such as tocopherols (vitamin E) and healthy fatty acids are retained.

Most refined oils on supermarket shelves are made very differently. Seeds are heated, the oil is extracted with the help of solvents such as hexane, and it is then bleached and deodorised to give it a neutral colour and smell. The result is a light, odourless oil, but much of what made the seed special is lost along the way. Cold-pressing is the opposite approach: fewer steps, less processing, more of the original seed.

Key Characteristics of Our Cold-Pressed Oils:

• Extracted without added heat – Gentle pressing that protects the natural flavour and nutrients of the seed
• Hexane-free – No chemical solvents used in extraction
• No additives, no preservatives – Just the oil, nothing else
• True aroma and taste – Nutty groundnut, pungent mustard, mild sunflower, fragrant coconut
• Naturally rich in tocopherols and healthy fats – Vitamin E and essential fatty acids found in the seed stay in the oil
• Packed for everyday use – From 1 litre bottles to 5 and 10 litre tin cans for the whole family

The Benefits of Switching to Cold-Pressed Oils

Changing your cooking oil is one of the simplest upgrades you can make to your kitchen. Here is why so many families are moving from refined oil to cold-pressed oil.

1. Retains the Natural Goodness of the Seed

Because cold-pressing avoids high heat during extraction, the oil keeps more of its natural tocopherols (vitamin E) and healthy fats. Our groundnut oil contains MUFA and PUFA, our mustard oil contains essential fatty acids, and our sunflower oil is naturally high in omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids.

2. Made Without Chemical Solvents

Our oils are extracted mechanically. Our oils are pressed, not chemically extracted, and our groundnut oil is hexane-free. What goes in the bottle is simply the oil pressed from the seed.

3. Real Flavour in Every Dish

Refined oils are made to be neutral. Cold-pressed oils are made to taste like something. A spoonful of mustard oil in your tadka, a drizzle of groundnut oil on roasted vegetables, or coconut oil in a South Indian curry adds a flavour no refined oil can match.

4. Suited to Indian Cooking

Indian cooking asks a lot from oil: deep-frying pakoras, a sizzling tadka, slow-cooked curries, shallow-fried parathas. Our groundnut, mustard and sunflower oils have high smoke points that suit everyday Indian cooking, and each one brings its own character to the dish.

5. No Additives, No Preservatives

There are no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives in our oils. You get the oil as nature made it, with a best-before date of 12 months for coconut oils and 1 year for groundnut, mustard and sunflower oils from the date of packaging.

6. Good for Rotating Oils

Different oils bring different flavours and fatty-acid profiles to your food. With groundnut, mustard, sunflower and coconut oil in your pantry, it is easy to rotate oils through the week or the season, and match each oil to the dish it suits best.

How to Use Cold-Pressed Oils in Your Kitchen

Choosing the right oil for the right dish makes everyday food taste better. Here is a quick guide to getting the most out of each oil.

Groundnut Oil for Frying, Roasting and Everyday Cooking

With its high smoke point and mild nutty taste, cold-pressed groundnut oil is a dependable all-purpose oil. Use it for deep-frying puris, pakoras and samosas, for roasting vegetables, and for everyday sabzis and dals. It is also the traditional choice for Gujarati and Maharashtrian dishes.

Black Mustard Oil for Tadka, Curries and Pickles

Mustard oil brings a sharp, pungent flavour that defines much of North and East Indian cooking. Heat it until it just begins to smoke, then let it cool slightly before adding your spices to mellow the pungency. It works beautifully for aloo sabzi, fish curries, sarson da saag and homemade achaar.

Sunflower Oil for Light Everyday Cooking

Mild in taste and versatile in use, cold-pressed sunflower oil is suited to deep frying and shallow frying, everyday dals, curries and sabzis, tempering, and even for kneading dough for parathas. It also works well in salad dressings.

Coconut Oil for South Indian and Coastal Cooking

Unrefined coconut oil gives a lovely fragrance to tadka, sautéed vegetables, sambar, avial, thoran and fish curries. A spoonful drizzled over warm rice or idli podi brings back the comforting flavour of a home kitchen.

Virgin Coconut Oil for Baking, Skin and Hair

Virgin coconut oil is a versatile all-rounder. Use it in baking, in smoothies and warm drinks, or as a nourishing moisturiser and hair oil as part of your self-care routine.

Groundnut Oil Spray for Lighter Cooking

If you want to cut down on how much oil you use, a light spray is perfect for greasing a tawa, grill or air fryer. At about 4 calories per spray, it gives you portion control without giving up the flavour of traditional groundnut oil.

Why Cold-Pressed Oil is Different from Refined Oil

Not all cooking oils are created equal. The way an oil is made decides how it tastes and what stays in it.

How Refined Oils Are Made

Refined oils typically go through several stages: seeds are heated to extract as much oil as possible, solvents such as hexane are often used, and the oil is then bleached, deodorised and filtered until it is pale and odourless. Each step strips away some of the natural character of the seed.

The Cold-Pressed Advantage

Cold-pressed oils skip those steps. The seeds are pressed slowly and the oil is simply filtered. This approach:

• Keeps natural flavour – The aroma and taste of the seed come through in your food
• Retains natural nutrients – Tocopherols and healthy fatty acids are not stripped away by heavy processing
• Avoids chemical solvents – No hexane used in extraction
• Keeps the oil honest – No bleaching, no artificial colour, no added flavour

When you buy cold-pressed oil online from us, you are getting oil that has been made with fewer steps and a lot more respect for the seed.

How to Store Cold-Pressed Oil

Cold-pressed oils have no preservatives, so a little care keeps them fresh. Store the bottle or tin in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat, keep the cap tightly closed, and use a clean, dry spoon or ladle. In cool weather, cold-pressed oils may thicken or show a little natural sediment. This is normal, and the oil returns to its usual texture at room temperature. Coconut oil solidifies below about 24°C and melts easily when the room warms up or the bottle is kept in warm water.

Choose the Right Cold-Pressed Oil for Your Kitchen

Start with the oil you use most, whether that is groundnut for frying, mustard for tadka or coconut for South Indian cooking, and add others as you go. Once you taste the difference that cold-pressed oil makes, it is hard to go back.
