Gingelly oil, often referred as QUEEN OF OILS is extracted through the traditional cold-press method using "WOODEN CHEKKU (VATS)". This process retains healthy antioxidants that are otherwise damaged when exposed to high pressure extraction (aka extrusion) generally used in the process of refined oils. Gingelly oil is known world wide for its culinary and medicinal properties.

 Gingelly oil, also known as sesame oil, is an edible vegetable oil that is derived from sesame seeds. It is one of the oldest known vegetable oils, with a history dating back thousands of years.

 Historically, sesame was cultivated more than 5000 years ago as a drought-tolerant crop which was able to grow where other crops failed. Sesame was cultivated during the Indus Valley civilization and was the main oil crop. It was probably exported to Mesopotamia around 2500 BCE.

 In South India, it is used as cooking oil.  Gingelly oil is known for its sweet taste and high smoke point, making it ideal for cooking. This fragrant oil is used for most cooking purposes other than deep frying.

Sesame oil is most often prized for the wonderfully nutty flavor and aroma it adds to dishes, particularly in many Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines, where it's a staple ingredient and integral to those regions' flavor profiles.

 An essential ingredient in Asian cooking, sesame oil is one of the most unique, fragrant and richly-flavored oils you can keep in your pantry. Its slightly sweet, nutty taste adds depth to steamed vegetable and brings warm notes to salads and vinaigrettes; it even adds intrigue to popcorn or ice cream.
