The oil is extracted using ancient method of wood churning in which oil seeds are ground in a wooden pestle (Lakdi Ghani or Marachekku) at a very low temperature of 27 deg centigrade.This is the most purest form of oil with no added chemicals.
Wood pressed oils are the most healthy form of oils as all its nutrients are retained.Also these oils contain zero fats.Refined oils lose the nutrients as they are subjected to high temperatures which may cause heart ailments and cancer in the long run.
Wood pressed oils retain their chemical properties and most importantly the taste.Unlike the refined oils in which the chemical structure of oil is completely changed because of heating at high temperatures.
Heritage Oils was born out of the Passion of two people who wanted to recreate the magic which was used by our ancestors to produce edible oils.
Oils are an integral part of our cooking.But there is a very little awareness about the method used for manufacturing oils.The technology used for producing refined oils succumbs the oil to high temperatures thus taking away all the nutrients and making it extremely unfit for consumption.Also the refined oils are not pure and mixed with chemicals and preservatives to optimize the cost.This is the major cause of heart ailments rising in the recent past.
After going through the trauma of experiencing the ill effects of readily available refined oils on near ones, the founders decided to explore a solution for this greater issue.
And the answer was there in our ancient techniques which have now been forgotten and buried in future.
We use the traditional wood churner method for making oil.In this method oil seeds placed in a wooden mortar and ground by a wooden pestle.This process is known as cold pressing which maintains a ambient temperature and does not allow the oil to get heated in the process.The little heat that is generated in absorbed by the wooden axis. Also the oil extracted is pure without any preservatives/chemicals.
Wood pressed oils have a distinct aroma and nutty flavour which enhances the taste of any cuisine.Apart from this they are the best for your health.
The ideology behind Heritage Oils is to make wood pressed oils readily available to the masses which will in turn keep them healthy and hale.
We are sure of the purity of our oils.But to experience this magic we invite all of you to visit our facility in Pune and witness this process with your own eyes so that even you are convinced.We are sure you will love the oils too.
