Cold-Pressed Mustard Oil
Cold-Pressed Mustard Oil
Cold-pressed kachi ghani mustard oil, unrefined and chemical-free. The seeds are pressed at low temperature so the natural pungency, colour, and fatty acids stay exactly where they belong — nothing added, nothing stripped out.
- Smoke point of 190-200°C, suitable for tadkas, stir-fries, high-heat frying, and everyday Indian cooking
- Natural pungency and flavour intact, not bleached or deodorised to produce a neutral-smelling oil
- No hexane, no solvents, no refining aids — pressed mechanically, filtered, and bottled
The process
Why Cold-Pressed Kachi Ghani Mustard Oil
Most mustard oil sold in India is refined. Refining uses heat, solvents, and chemical processing steps to produce a consistent, light-coloured oil with an extended shelf life. Those steps also remove the sharp aroma and the compounds responsible for it.
Cold-pressed kachi ghani mustard oil skips that process entirely. The seeds are pressed slowly at low temperature. The oil that comes out has the colour, bite, and pungency that refined oil is specifically engineered to remove. If your current mustard oil has very little smell or sharpness, it has been refined.
Nothing To Hide's cold-pressed mustard oil is produced at Gem Edible Oils' facility in Coimbatore, a manufacturing operation with roots going back to 1957.
Your format
Two Formats, Same Oil
Spray Bottle
A propellant-free pump that delivers a fine, controlled mist of cold-pressed mustard oil across a pan, tawa, or dish. One or two presses coats a full pan. No aerosol, no gas. Suited to calorie-conscious cooking, air fryer use, and grilling where an even coat matters and pooling does not.
Smart Measuring Bottle
Each pour releases a fixed measured volume. The cooking routine stays the same; the amount of oil used goes down. Suited to everyday tadkas, dal, and curries where a controlled pour is more practical than a spray.
Both formats contain the same cold-pressed kachi ghani mustard oil. The oil is identical. The choice is about how you cook.
In the kitchen
How to Use Cold-Pressed Mustard Oil
-
Tadka and tempering: measure or spray cold-pressed mustard oil into a hot pan. The smoke point of 190-200°C handles the temperature needed to bloom whole spices without the oil breaking down.
-
Deep and shallow frying: use the smart bottle for a controlled pour. The high smoke point is consistent across standard stovetop heat settings used for bhujia, pakoras, and sabzis.
-
Pickles (achaar): spray or pour directly over vegetables and spices before sealing. The pungency of unrefined kachi ghani mustard oil is the base note in most North and East Indian pickle traditions.
-
Marinating meat, fish, and paneer: spray cold-pressed mustard oil over the surface before grilling or baking. The spray bottle gives an even coat without over-oiling.
-
Roti and flatbreads: a single press of the spray bottle coats a hot tawa evenly, without the excess that comes from tipping a standard pour bottle.
Common questions
About Cold-Pressed Mustard Oil
What is kachi ghani mustard oil and is it the same as cold-pressed mustard oil?
Yes. Kachi ghani is the traditional Hindi term for cold extraction, used most widely in the context of mustard oil across North and East India. The seeds are pressed mechanically at low temperature, without heat or solvents. Cold-pressed mustard oil and kachi ghani mustard oil describe the same extraction method. Wood-pressed mustard oil is also the same process and the same product.
What is the smoke point of cold-pressed mustard oil?
Cold-pressed kachi ghani mustard oil has a smoke point of 190-200°C. This makes it suitable for tadkas, stir-fries, shallow frying, and deep frying at the temperatures used in standard Indian home cooking. It handles high-heat applications without breaking down prematurely.
What is the difference between the spray bottle and the smart measuring bottle for mustard oil?
The spray bottle delivers a propellant-free fine mist. It is well suited to an even, thin coat for grilling, air fryer cooking, and tawa-based cooking. The smart measuring bottle releases a fixed volume per pour and is better suited to traditional cooking where a liquid pour is the natural motion. Both contain the same cold-pressed kachi ghani mustard oil.
How is cold-pressed mustard oil different from refined mustard oil?
Refined mustard oil is processed using heat, chemical solvents, bleaching, and deodorising. These steps alter the colour, flavour, and aroma of the oil to produce a consistent, mild product. Cold-pressed kachi ghani mustard oil skips all of those steps. The oil is pressed, filtered, and bottled. Nothing is added and nothing is removed. The characteristic sharpness and golden colour are the natural state of unrefined mustard oil.
