When it comes to choosing the right cooking oil for your family, the difference between cold pressed oil and refined oil matters more than most people realise. At RUVA Foods, we believe in making that choice simple — and pure.
What is Cold Pressed Oil?
Cold pressed oil is extracted from seeds or nuts using a traditional pressing method that applies no heat and no chemicals. The seeds are simply pressed under mechanical pressure, allowing the natural oil to flow out while retaining its original nutrients, aroma, and flavour.
This is the same method that has been used in Indian kitchens for generations — the traditional ghani or chekku method that our grandmothers trusted.
What is Refined Oil?
Refined oil goes through an industrial process that involves high heat, chemical solvents, bleaching, and deodorising. While this process increases shelf life and produces a neutral-tasting oil, it also strips away the natural goodness of the original ingredient.
The result is an oil that is highly processed, often containing chemical residues, and lacking the natural nutrients found in the original seed or nut.
Key Differences at a Glance
- ✅ Cold Pressed: No heat, no chemicals, natural nutrients retained
- ✅ Cold Pressed: Natural aroma and flavour intact
- ✅ Cold Pressed: Unrefined and pure
- ❌ Refined: High heat processing destroys natural nutrients
- ❌ Refined: Chemical solvents used in extraction
- ❌ Refined: Bleached and deodorised — natural character removed
Why Cold Pressed Oil is Better for Indian Cooking
Indian cooking has always relied on oils that carry flavour — the rich nuttiness of groundnut oil in a traditional curry, or the subtle sweetness of coconut oil in South Indian dishes. Cold pressed oils deliver exactly that.
When you cook with RUVA Cold Pressed Groundnut Oil, you get the authentic taste that refined oils simply cannot replicate. The natural aroma fills your kitchen, and the flavour enhances every dish.
