What is COLD-PRESSED Oil?
Cold-press refers to oil obtained/ processed through pressing oil seeds mechanically with modern wooden press natively called as 'Lakadi Ghana'.
Pressing the Seeds in 'Ghani' at room temperature squeezes out maximum available Oil from Oil Seeds. Since no Heat or Chemical is added, the product i.e. our Oil retains all Nutrients in their natural form.
In contrast to large scale Solvent/Chemical Extraction & Refining processes which strip the Oil of Natural Anti-Oxidants, Vitamins and Flavor.
The Solvent/Chemical Extraction method is used produce most common Cooking Oils found in the super markets.
Cold-Press oils retain all their Flavor, Aroma and Nutritional Values, making these oils great for cooking.
Naturally, oilseeds are mechanically pressed to extract Oil, just like pressing the Juice out from a fruit.
In ancient times, a Bull/Cow was used to grind oil seeds to get Oil. These days we use a mechanical oil pressing machine.
Ancient Machine pulled by a Bull
Modern Lakadi Ghani oil Machine
In order to achieve the same effect and quality as the bull ridden machine, new mechanical wooden machines are operated at optimised speed.
Rotating at a lower speed enables us to avoid an increase in temperature.
By doing this, we get the finest oil of premium quality. It takes around 3 KG peanut seeds to squeeze out 1 lt. of cold-pressed oil.

Are Cold-Pressed Oils are DIFFERENT from
Regular REFINED OILS we use daily?
Regular Refined Oil:
Other Oilseeds such as Rapeseed (Canola), Soybean, Corn, Sunflower etc., CAN NOT yield oil through natural extraction techniques.
These oilseeds are treated with chemicals and heat temperatures so as to yield more product.
These vegetable oils were non-existent until the early 1950s, when chemical treatment and processing (refining) techniques allowed them to be extracted were invented.
Because they are chemically extracted, this process kills nutrients and alters the molecules in the oil, in unfavourable ways. Heating burns the oil and the nutrients in it.
Our bodies weren't meant to consume chemically extracted refined oils.
So, you are right there are significant differences between these two.
Regular Refined Oil
Falgun Cold Pressed Oil
Shiny transparent golden colour
Opaque and Thick Golden colour
Oil is extracted by Chemical method. Heating @higher temperature and treating with Chemical yield more oil from the same batch.
Oil Seeds are ground in a Wooden vessel to pump out the Oil Naturally!
Heat and Chemicals destroy Oil. All nutrient burn to ash and then washed out.
Nutrients and other important factors are preserved in Falgun Cold-Pressed oils.
Taste, Odor, and Flavor get destroyed as well!
Taste, Flavor is retained and preserved in Falgun Cold-Pressed Oils as it is as available in Nature.
Shelf life is increased by adding chemical stabilizers during refinement.
Due to no chemicals are added shelf life of Falgun Cold-Pressed oils is 6 months.
Regular oils are diluted by mixing them with Palm Oil to sale it on Cheaper rates!
Falgun Cold-Pressed oils are dark and opaque because they are 100% pure and Natural!
We believe 'Prevention is always Better than Cure!'
