Cold pressed oil is extracted by mechanically pressing seeds in a traditional wooden ghani at low temperature — without any heat or chemical solvents. This preserves all natural vitamins, antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and the original flavour of the oil.
How is it different from refined oil?
+
Refined oils go through industrial processing using chemical solvents, high heat, bleaching, and deodorizing — which strips away most natural nutrients. Cold pressed oils use only mechanical pressure at low temperatures, preserving all the natural goodness of the seed.
Do you use any chemicals or additives?
+
Absolutely not. Vanalika oils contain exactly one ingredient: the oil itself. No chemicals, no solvents, no preservatives, no additives of any kind. This is our unconditional promise.
Every oil wood pressed. Every bottle chemical-free. Every drop authentic.

Why We Started
A Story That Begins In a Family Kitchen
Vanalika was born from a simple but powerful question: why does modern refined oil taste and feel so different from what our grandparents used to press at home?
Growing up, many of us remember the warm, nutty aroma of freshly pressed groundnut oil, the rich golden colour of sesame, the clean freshness of coconut. Somewhere along the way, industrial processing replaced tradition.
Vanalika is our answer — a return to the original. To the wooden ghani. To seeds pressed slowly, at room temperature, without chemicals. To oil that heals as much as it nourishes.

Cold Pressed vs Refined
What You're Really Getting in Every Drop
When seeds are processed at high industrial temperatures, the delicate vitamins, antioxidants, and natural fatty acids are destroyed. What remains is a neutral, odourless, colourless fat — stripped of all nutritional identity.
Cold pressed oils retain everything the seed was designed to give — Vitamin E, polyphenols, essential fatty acids, natural flavour — fully intact in every drop.

Common Questions
Everything You Want to Know
Honest, clear answers about Vanalika oils, our process, and how to order.
What is cold pressed / wood pressed oil?
+
Cold pressed oil is extracted by mechanically pressing seeds in a traditional wooden ghani at low temperature — without any heat or chemical solvents. This slow extraction preserves all natural vitamins, antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and the genuine flavour of the seed.
How is wood pressed oil different from refined oil?
+
Refined oils are processed at very high temperatures (200°C+) using chemical solvents like hexane. They're then bleached, deodorized, and chemically treated — which strips away most natural nutrients. Cold pressed oils use only mechanical pressure at low temperatures, preserving all the natural goodness of the seed.
Do you use any chemicals, additives, or preservatives?
+
Absolutely not. Vanalika oils contain exactly one ingredient: the oil itself. No chemicals, no solvents, no preservatives, no artificial additives, no colouring agents. What you see in the bottle is 100% pure, naturally extracted oil. This is our unconditional promise.
What is the shelf life of Vanalika oils?
+
Groundnut, Sunflower, and Safflower oils keep well for 9–12 months when stored in a cool, dark place. Coconut oil lasts 12–18 months. Sesame and Mustard oils stay fresh for up to 12 months. Once opened, consume within 4–6 months for best flavour and nutritional value.
How should I store the oil at home?
+
Keep your Vanalika oil in a cool, dark place — a kitchen cabinet away from the stove or direct sunlight works perfectly. Close the lid tightly after each use and use a clean, dry spoon. A slight natural sediment at the bottom is completely normal and healthy — simply give it a gentle swirl before use.
How do I order and how is it delivered?
+
Ordering is simple — tap the WhatsApp button and send us a message with which oils you want and in what sizes. We'll confirm availability, share the total, and arrange delivery. We deliver directly to your home — no middlemen, no retail markup. Orders are typically delivered within 24–48 hours.
Why does the oil sometimes look slightly cloudy or have sediment?
+
This is completely normal and a very good sign! Unlike refined oils that are bleached to appear perfectly clear, our cold pressed oils retain all natural particles and are filtered only through natural cloth. Some fine sediment may settle — it's natural, healthy, and proof your oil is genuinely unrefined.
