5 Liter
Nandi Gingelly Oil is made the way it always has been — slow cold pressing through the traditional Chekku method using premium white sesame seeds. The result is a deep golden oil with a warm, nutty aroma that instantly transforms any dish. Whether you're tempering mustard seeds for dal, tossing rice with ghee and gingelly oil the South Indian way, or preserving homemade pickles, this oil carries the flavour memory of generations. At 5 litres, it is made for kitchens that cook with meaning every single day.
Sesame oil is one of the most antioxidant-rich edible oils. It contains sesamol and sesamin — two lignans unique to sesame — that help neutralise free radicals and reduce oxidative stress in the body. Cold pressing helps preserve Vitamin E (tocopherols), which supports cell protection and skin health. It is rich in polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids (PUFA and MUFA), which can help lower LDL cholesterol while supporting healthy HDL levels. Sesame oil also contains a naturally favourable fatty acid profile that supports cardiovascular health. Its moderate smoke point makes it well suited for tempering, finishing, and everyday cooking.

Most sesame oils here taste too mild or smell off. This one is different. My husband keeps asking what changed in the food.
This is the closest I have found to home-pressed sesame oil in the US. The cold pressing makes all the difference — you can taste it. I am already on my second tin.
The moment I opened this tin, the aroma took me back. Rich, nutty, deeply fragrant — the real deal. I will not be switching.
Cold pressed, no additives, and a beautiful golden colour. I drizzle it over my kids’ rice with ghee every day. They love it.
