Sesame Oil
Cold-pressed sesame oil, also called gingelly oil or til oil across different parts of India, extracted without heat or chemicals so its natural flavour and nutrition stay intact. Nothing To Hide puts every batch through a 6-step cold-press extraction process, then fills it into a propellant-free spray bottle or a smart measuring chamber bottle. One oil, two formats, both unrefined.

The process
What cold-pressed sesame oil actually means
Cold-pressing extracts oil by applying mechanical pressure at low temperature, with no added heat, no hexane, and no deodorising or bleaching step. Refined sesame oil goes through a chemical and thermal process that strips out naturally occurring compounds to produce a neutral, shelf-stable product.
Cold-pressed sesame seed oil, by contrast, keeps its deep amber colour and the rich, nutty aroma that South Indian, Bengali, and Gujarati cooking rely on. This oil is called gingelly oil in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, til tel in West Bengal, and til nu tel in Gujarat. The name changes by region. The oil is the same. When you taste the difference from a refined bottle, switching is straightforward.
Format guide
Two formats — which one suits your cooking
Sesame oil works as a tadka base, a finishing drizzle, a marinade, and a wok oil. The format changes how precisely you apply it.
Spray Bottle
The spray bottle delivers a fine, even mist with one or two presses. No propellant. Suited for air fryer cooking, calorie tracking, and finishing noodles, salads, or roasted vegetables where a thin, controlled coat matters.
Measuring Bottle
The smart measuring bottle releases a fixed volume per pour, replacing a standard wide-neck bottle without changing your cooking routine. Suited for everyday tadkas, sauteing, and household use where consistent amounts reduce waste over time.
Both formats contain the same cold-pressed sesame oil.
Common questions
Common questions about sesame oil
Is gingelly oil the same as sesame oil?
Yes. Gingelly oil is the regional name for sesame oil used in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and parts of South India. Til oil or til ka tel is the term used in North India, Maharashtra, and West Bengal. White sesame oil and black sesame oil refer to the seed variety used in extraction, not the extraction method itself. All are sesame oil. Cold-pressed describes how it was extracted: no heat, no chemicals, nothing removed.
What cooking methods is cold-pressed sesame oil suited for?
Cold-pressed sesame oil performs best at low to medium heat. It is well suited for tempering, light sauteing, marinades, salad dressings, and finishing drizzles on noodles, rice, or roasted vegetables. Its natural aroma intensifies at heat, so a small amount goes far. For high-heat deep frying, cold-pressed mustard oil or groundnut oil are the better fit.
Does the spray bottle change how sesame oil tastes or performs?
No. The spray bottle is a delivery format, not a processing step. The cold-pressed sesame oil inside is identical to what is in the smart measuring bottle. The spray mechanism uses air pressure, not propellant or aerosol. The only difference is how much oil leaves the bottle and how evenly it is distributed across the surface.
