Traditional Method

The Kachi Ghani Process

Zero heat. Zero chemicals. 100% pure extraction.

What is Kachi Ghani?

"Kachi Ghani" literally translates to "cold press." It refers to the traditional Indian method of extracting oil using a wooden pestle and mortar (kolhu), where the seeds are crushed at very slow speeds.

This slow process ensures that no frictional heat is generated. High heat (used in modern expellers and refineries) destroys the oil's natural properties, flavor, and nutrients.

  • Preserves Allyl Isothiocyanate (the natural compound that gives mustard oil its pungency)
  • Retains natural antioxidants
  • No chemical solvents like Hexane are used

Step-by-Step Manufacturing

01

Cleaning

Raw black mustard seeds are meticulously cleaned using mechanical sieves to remove dust, stones, and plant debris.

02

Cold Pressing (Kolhu)

Seeds are slowly crushed in traditional wooden presses without applying any external heat, extracting the pure oil naturally.

03

Natural Filtration

The oil is passed through cotton cloth filters and allowed to settle in tanks. We do not use any chemical bleaching or deodorizing processes.

04

Lab Testing

Every batch is tested in our in-house facility for purity, free fatty acids, moisture, and iodine value to ensure FSSAI compliance.

05

Packaging

The oil is packed in food-grade, tamper-proof containers to seal in the freshness and aroma.
