Wood pressed (Mara Chekku) Sesame Oil extracted from Sesame seeds and Palm Jaggery (Karupatti) using the Vaagai wood that involves a natural extraction process without any added preservatives.

WHY CHEKKU OIL?

When oil is extracted in modern machinery it generates high amounts of heat. Cold pressing is a technique in which the oil is mechanically pressed from the seeds at temperatures not exceeding 120F. The nutrients, which are usually destroyed by heat while refining, are retained in this method. Pure cold-pressed oil is not refined, processed or deodorised. It is also rich in antioxidants, which boosts immunity.
