Process: natural traditional process uses huge Vaaghe wood (Albizza odaritissma, called as Syrissa in English and Mimosa Flexuosa in Latin) mortar and pestle. The pestle is driven by bulls at 2-3 rpm. The process produces oils that are rich in macro and micro nutrients including antioxidants as this slow, zero-waste process (no electricity used) of oil extraction is considered superior to cold-pressed methods as they retain aroma and flavor in addition to nutrients.

Mortar and Pestle also known as ghaana/chekku/kachi ghani/ganuga, etc.

Source: Desiri, known for their high quality, purity and mission. Air-lifted from India to retain freshness.

Note: Bulls are given excellent care and fed with organic food. They are used for natural insemination of cows in the nearby villages as they are known for their good lineage.
