Veda Prakreti Cold Pressed Black Sesame Oil is extracted at low temperatures using the traditional wooden ghani (kolhu) method, a slow mechanical press that avoids the heat and chemical solvents used in refined oil production.

This gentler process preserves the oil's deep, nutty flavour along with naturally occurring antioxidants like sesamol, which refined sesame oil largely loses during processing. Black sesame oil has long been valued in Indian cooking traditions for its rich flavour and its naturally heart-friendly fat profile, making it a favourite for tadka, stir-fries, and finishing dishes where its distinctive aroma can shine through.

Because it's unrefined, its colour and aroma are noticeably more pronounced than mass-market sesame oil that's the mark of authenticity, not a flaw. Drizzle it over salads, use it to temper dals, or stir-fry vegetables in it for a distinctly richer, more authentic result than refined oil delivers.
