Sesame Oil – Cold Pressed

At Sudhantira, we press more than seeds - we preserve over 3000 years of tradition. Our Cold-Pressed Sesame Oil (மரசெக்கு எள்ளெண்ணெய்), also known as Gingelly Oil, is extracted from native white sesame seeds grown on our farms using the time-honored wooden chekku (mara chekku) method. This slow extraction process retains the oil’s rich aroma, flavor, nutrients and natural golden hue.

Whether you’re looking to buy cold pressed sesame oil for everyday cooking, explore its role in Vedic wellness or include it in your morning oil pulling routine, Sudhantira delivers purity, authenticity and integrity in every drop.

What is Cold-Pressed Sesame Oil?

Cold-Pressed Sesame Oil is made by gently pressing sun-dried sesame seeds at low temperatures, without any external heat or chemical treatments. At Sudhantira, we follow the traditional wooden chekku method, producing fresh, unrefined oil that retains its original aroma and nutrient profile.

From daily meals to oral health to massage therapies, this oil has been a kitchen and wellness staple in South Indian and Ayurvedic traditions for thousands of years.
