Wooden Cold Pressed Almond Oil

Ours is Truly Cold Pressed and food-grade, so it's beautiful for both! A raw drizzle over salads, smoothies or cooked dishes gives you its full delicate nuttiness, and it's equally lovely as a skin and hair oil. Do keep it away from high heat — this one is a finisher, not a frying oil — and refrigerating it once opened keeps it at its very freshest.

Almond oil has been the traditional choice for baby malish across North India for generations, and ours is Truly Cold Pressed and food grade, with nothing added to it. Warm a little between your palms first — never on a direct flame — and use gentle, unhurried strokes. As with anything new on a baby's skin, do a small patch test on the inner arm first, and check with your paediatrician if your little one has sensitive skin.

Ours is sweet almond oil, pressed from edible badam — the same almonds you would eat. Bitter almond oil is a completely different thing and is never sold for food or everyday skin use. So yes, ours is safe to eat, to use as a finishing oil, and to apply.

Less than you think — five to ten drops warmed between your palms is enough for most hair lengths. Work it into the scalp and along the mid-lengths rather than piling it on the roots, leave it for thirty minutes to an hour, then wash as usual. Overnight application works beautifully too, though a single wash may not lift it fully if you have been generous.

Almonds are an expensive raw material to begin with, and they give up very little oil — it takes several kilos of good badam to fill one bottle. We also press them slowly and cold rather than heating them for a better yield, which costs us more again. It is why almond oil is bought by the small bottle and used by the drop.

Most of our customers use a teaspoon or so a day — drizzled over a salad, stirred into a smoothie, or taken plain in the morning. It is a rich oil with a delicate flavour, so a little carries a long way and there is nothing to be gained from more. Keep it away from the flame entirely; heat undoes exactly what the cold pressing preserved.

We could match anyone's price tomorrow — we would simply have to give something up: the wooden press, the hand-picked seeds, the steel-tank storage, the published lab tests, or the premium-only couriers. You're not paying more for the same thing. You're paying for everything a lower price would have had to remove.

Three ways. First, every batch is third-party lab tested and the reports are published for anyone to read. Second, we're FSSAI-licensed (10724999001232) and certified under ISO 9001, ISO 22000, GMP, HACCP and Halal, with USFDA registration for exports. Third — the simplest test — smell it. Truly cold pressed oil has an aroma refined oil simply can't fake.

That's a good sign, not a fault — we're always pleased when customers notice it. Our oils are completely unfiltered, so fine particles of the seed settle naturally over time. Refined oils look perfectly clear precisely because that goodness has been stripped out. Give the bottle a gentle swirl before use.

Four to six months from the pressing date printed on every bottle. That's deliberately short: we use no preservatives of any kind, so we press in small batches and ship fresh rather than warehousing stock for a year. Store this oil in the refrigerator, below 15°C.

Sesame oil is the traditional answer — the Ayurvedic practices of gandusha and kavala are described with til taila, and of the sesame varieties the classical texts hold krishna tila, black sesame, highest. Our Truly Cold Pressed Black Sesame Oil is exactly that, unrefined and unfiltered. Coconut oil is a popular modern alternative and is gentler in the mouth if you find sesame too strong. In practice: about a teaspoon on an empty stomach, swished gently for five to fifteen minutes, then spat into a bin rather than the basin and rinsed away with warm water.
