Traditional Gingelly Oil – Wood-Pressed with Palm Jaggery
The Gold Standard of Wellness
There is a reason it is called 'Nalla Ennai' (The Good Oil). Nalmarutham Wood Pressed Gingelly Oil, extracted using the traditional Mara Chekku (Wood Pressed) method from premium quality sesame seeds, are crushed slowly with a touch of natural palm jaggery (Karupatti). This traditional addition doesn't just impart a rich, dark hue; it acts as a natural stabilizer and rounds off the sharp notes of the sesame, leaving you with an oil that is smooth, nutty, and incredibly healthy.
Slowly crushed in wooden churners at low temperature, this oil retains its natural aroma, nutrients, antioxidants, and authentic taste.
The Mara Chekku & Karupatti Advantage
The Karupatti Secret: We add authentic Palm Jaggery during the pressing process. This ancient technique helps in clarifying the oil naturally and infuses it with trace minerals while removing the raw bitterness of sesame.
True Cold-Pressed: The wooden press keeps temperatures low, preserving sesamol and sesamolin — powerful antioxidants that support heart health.
Zero Chemical Refining: Unlike "refined" sesame oils that are bleached and deodorized, our oil is raw and unadulterated. What you taste is the pure essence of the seed.
Cooling for the Body: Traditionally used to balance body heat, making it ideal for tropical climates and everyday wellness.
