Mustard oil has been a staple in Indian kitchens for centuries — but not all mustard oils are made the same way. Most commercially available mustard oils go through high-heat solvent extraction and chemical refining, which strips away the natural aroma, nutrients, and pungency that make mustard oil worth using in the first place.
Aayonic Wood Pressed Mustard Oil is made differently.
We use the traditional kolhu (wooden ghani) method — a slow, cold pressed process where black mustard seeds are ground at low speed without applying heat. This is the same method Indian households relied on for generations, and it produces oil that is genuinely unrefined, deeply aromatic, and naturally rich in nutrients.
The result is a cold pressed kachi ghani mustard oil that retains its natural Omega-3 and Omega-6 balance, its characteristic pungency, and its deep golden colour — without any additives, artificial colour, or preservatives.
Why Cold Pressed Mustard Oil Is Different
The extraction method matters more than most people realise.
When mustard oil is extracted using heat or chemical solvents, the process is faster and cheaper — but it degrades the natural compounds in the seed. The sharp aroma weakens. The fatty acid profile changes. What remains is a neutral, processed oil that has little in common with traditionally made mustard oil.
Cold pressed mustard oil — also called kachi ghani mustard oil or wood pressed mustard oil — avoids this entirely. The seeds are pressed slowly at ambient temperature, preserving:
✦ Natural antioxidants present in black mustard seeds
✦ A healthy ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acids
✦ The signature sharp aroma that defines authentic mustard oil
✦ The unrefined texture and natural colour of pure mustard oil
This is why cold pressed mustard oil for cooking delivers a noticeably different result — in aroma, in flavour, and in the way it behaves in the pan.
How Aayonic Mustard Oil Is Made
Our cold pressed black mustard oil starts with carefully selected black mustard seeds. These are fed into a traditional wooden kolhu (ghani) where they are pressed slowly at low speed. No external heat is applied. No chemical solvents are used. The oil that comes out is filtered and bottled — nothing added, nothing removed.
The process is slower and yields less oil per batch compared to industrial methods. But it produces something that refined mustard oil simply cannot match: pure sarso oil with its natural properties fully intact.

Using Aayonic Mustard Oil in Your Kitchen
Cold pressed mustard oil is one of the most versatile cooking oils in Indian cuisine. Its high smoke point makes it suitable for high-heat cooking, while its natural pungency adds depth to dishes that milder oils simply cannot replicate.
It works well for:
✦ Everyday tadka and tempering — the aroma blooms beautifully in hot oil
✦ Bengali and North Indian curries where mustard oil is traditional
✦ Deep frying and sautéing with authentic flavour
