Made the way
it should be.
Our groundnut oil is hydraulically pressed — slowly squeezed, never heated — so nothing's added and nothing's lost. Just oil, the way it should be.

What goes into our oils matters.
Pressed at Climate Temperature
No added heat, ever — not even during extraction.
Zero Additives
No preservatives, no refining agents, no dilution.
Small Batches
Pressed in limited quantities, never rushed for scale.
Just Groundnut, Nothing Else
One ingredient. No blends, no shortcuts.
Most oils are designed for shelf life.
Ours are designed for your kitchen.
Most commercial oils are heated, stripped of their natural smell and taste, then artificially treated to sit on a shelf for years.
We do the opposite. Our oil is pressed once, slowly, at climate temperature — so it keeps the taste, aroma, and color it’s supposed to have. Nothing added, nothing lost.
From seed to bottle.
Nothing unnecessary in between.

The methods may be traditional. The standards are not.
Every bottle reflects our commitment to quality, transparency and doing things the right way — even when it's the slower way.

Straight answersQuestions we get
Questions we get
every single week.
Why cold-pressed oil?
Because lower-temperature extraction helps preserve the natural characteristics of the seed — its aroma, colour and the nutrients that heavy refining tends to strip away.
Do you use chemicals?
No. Our oils are produced without chemical extraction, bleaching or deodorising. Seed in, oil out.
What makes hydraulic pressing different?
Hydraulic pressing uses slow, controlled downward force instead of aggressive industrial spinning. Less friction means less heat, and the oil stays closer to the seed it came from.
How do I order?
You can place your order directly on WhatsApp. Our team will help you with pricing, availability and delivery — no cart, no checkout, just a conversation.
How should the oil be stored?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, capped tightly and away from the stove.
Is 'cold-pressed' a regulated term?
No. That's the whole problem. Anyone can print it. We publish a number instead: our hydraulic press never takes the seed above 32°C, and you're welcome to bring a thermometer.
Will this actually help my cholesterol?
We make no medical claims about cholesterol or any condition. Cold-pressed oils retain more of their natural nutrients compared to heavily refined oils, which is why many people choose to include them as part of a balanced diet. Any decision about your health belongs to your doctor and your plate.
Why not a wooden ghana / lakdi ghana?
A real one is fine. Most shops selling it don't own a press — they buy commercial oil and relabel it. A wooden churner also spins, and spinning creates friction heat.
Can I cook Indian food at high heat with it?
Yes. Cold-pressed groundnut oil smokes around 215°C — plenty for tadka, shallow frying and everyday cooking. We don't recommend reusing frying oil, any oil.
How long does a bottle last?
Unrefined oil is alive, so treat it that way: keep it capped, away from the stove and sunlight, and finish within 6 months of pressing. Every bottle carries its press date.
Can I really visit the factory?
Yes, any working day at Loni Kalbhor. No appointment theatre. Watch your bottle being pressed, then take it home.
