Overview
Bail Kolhu follows traditional cold-pressing methods to extract mustard oil, maintaining nutritional integrity and authentic taste valued in Indian cuisine for centuries.
What is Kachi Ghani Mustard Oil?
Kachi Ghani translates to cold-pressed. It refers to the traditional method of extracting oil from mustard seeds using a wooden or stone press without external heat. Seeds are crushed slowly at ambient temperature, and the oil is extracted naturally.
This differs significantly from refined oil production, which uses high-temperature heating, chemical treatment, bleaching, and deodorization. Industrial refining removes impurities but also strips away natural flavors, nutrients, and beneficial compounds.
Cold-pressed extraction keeps temperatures below 50°C (122°F), preserving heat-sensitive nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and natural antioxidants. The resulting oil retains its sharp, pungent flavor and yellow color, making it a preferred choice among traditional mustard oils.
