The process

The true art of cold-pressing.

Room temperature. Powered by bulls — not machines. A 5,000-year-old method that keeps nutrients, antioxidants, and flavour alive.

How oil is made changes everything.

Most refined oils are cooked many times before they reach the kitchen. Even oils labelled “cold-pressed” in India are often heated to 50–100°C — enough to destroy antioxidants. We press slowly, below 27°C. Pure oil, the way nature intended.

01

No heat

Pressed below 27°C so antioxidants and fatty acids stay intact.

02

No chemicals

No solvents, bleaching, or synthetic antioxidants. Gravity filtration only.

03

Bull-driven

Granite and wood, turned by rescued bulls. Zero electricity at the ghani.

From seed to bottle

The Little Farmer way

  1. 01

    Sourced seeds

    Chemical-free seeds, bought direct from trusted farmers.

  2. 02

    Wooden rotary

    Granite and wood pestles turned by rescued bulls — no heat.

  3. 03

    Slow press

    Below 27°C, under 5 RPM. Nutrients and aroma stay in the oil.

  4. 04

    Natural filter

    Gravity only. No bleaching, no refining, no chemicals.

  5. 05

    Farm bottling

    Sealed at the farm for true farm-to-bottle freshness.

The difference

Not all cold-pressed oils are the same

Refined oils

Up to 260°C

Solvent-extracted, cooked, packed with chemicals.

Machine “cold-pressed”

50–100°C

Seeds often preheated. Antioxidants do not survive.

Little Farmer

Below 27°C

Bull-driven. Nutrients and antioxidants preserved.

Antioxidants start breaking down above 60°C. Our oils never leave room temperature — fatty acids stay intact, free radicals stay away.
