What makes wood-cold-pressed mustard oil different from refined oil?
Refined oil undergoes extreme heat extraction and chemical bleaching, which strips natural nutrients. Gramiyaa's freshly pressed mustard oil is extracted using traditional wooden ghanis below 50°C, leaving vitamins, antioxidants, and original pungent flavours fully intact.
Is this product completely chemical-free?
Yes. Our oil is 100% single cold pressed, unrefined, and completely chemical-free mustard oil with zero artificial preservatives, synthetic colours, or heavy anti-foaming agents added during production.
What is the smoke point of wood-pressed mustard oil, and is it safe for deep frying?
Yes, it is perfectly safe. Gramiyaa's mustard oil has a naturally high smoke point of 200°C. This exceptional heat stability ensures it does not break down into harmful elements, making this premium wood-pressed mustard oil ideal for daily Indian marinating, sautéing and deep frying.
Why does Gramiyaa use paper cartons instead of plastic bottles for cold-pressed sarso oil?
Light and oxygen cause raw oils to oxidise and go stale. Unlike standard cold-pressed sarso oil sold in transparent plastic bottles, our opaque and oxygen free paper carton acts as a complete barrier against light and air, keeping the oil naturally nutrient-rich and flavorful without needing preservatives.
How should I store cold pressed mustard oil after opening?
Keep it tightly sealed in its original carton, away from direct heat and sunlight. Since it's unrefined and preservative-free, the packaging itself, opaque and oxygen-free, is doing most of the work to keep it fresh, so recapping promptly after each use helps maintain that.
What is the shelf life of Gramiyaa cold pressed mustard oil?
Gramiyaa's wood cold pressed mustard oil has a shelf life of 12 months from the date of packing.
Is Gramiyaa mustard oil lab tested?
Yes. Every batch is pressed in-house and lab-tested, so it's never blended from unverified or third-party sources. You can trace individual batch details at trace.gramiyaa.com.
Does Gramiyaa mustard oil contain any preservatives or added ingredients?
No. The ingredient list is just one thing: 100% cold-pressed mustard oil. There are no added preservatives, synthetic colours, or anti-foaming agents.
Can wood cold pressed mustard oil be used for daily cooking?
Yes. It has a moderately pungent flavour that works across everyday methods, marinating, sautéing, and frying, without being so strong that it overwhelms a dish.
Which mustard seed, black or yellow, is Gramiyaa's oil made from?
Gramiyaa's mustard oil is made from black mustard seeds, cold pressed in wood and stone mills to retain their natural pungency, aroma, and nutrients.
