Premium Groundnut Oil – Wood-Pressed & Unrefined Purity
Nutty Essence of Tradition
Not all oils are made to nourish. Our Wood-Pressed (Mara Chekku) Groundnut Oil is extracted using the traditional method where carefully selected peanuts are crushed in a wooden churn at low speed to preserve their natural nutrients, aroma, and flavour.
Just pure oil — the way it was traditionally made.
The Mara Chekku Process
Unlike refined oils that rely on high heat and chemical solvents, our oil follows a slow and natural extraction:
Premium Quality Peanuts: Carefully selected for purity and oil richness.
Slow Crushing in Wooden Press: Extracted at low RPM in a traditional mara chekku to avoid heat damage.
Low-Temperature Extraction: Preserves natural antioxidants, nutrients, and flavour.
Natural Settling & Filtration: No chemical refining — only gravity-based clarification.
Small Batch Packing: Ensures freshness and quality in every bottle.
This method helps retain Natural aroma, Original taste, Nutritional integrity and Balanced fatty acids.
