White Sesame Oil (Gingelly Oil)

Sesame Oil.
Nothing else.

Every bottle of Ishavasyam Wooden Cold Pressed White Sesame Oil begins with carefully sourced native white sesame varieties from the farms of Gujarat and Rajasthan.

Also known as Gingelly Oil, sesame oil has been an important part of traditional Indian kitchens for generations.

We believe good food begins with respecting its origins. That's why we focus on native sesame varieties and traditional methods of oil extraction.

Our oil is extracted using the traditional Wooden Kacchi Ghani method, where white sesame seeds undergo a slow and gradual wooden pressing process. This traditional method generates minimal heat during extraction, helping preserve the oil's natural nutritional characteristics, authentic taste and aroma.

Unlike refined oils, our White Sesame Oil is unprocessed, unrefined and naturally cloth filtered, keeping the process close to its traditional roots.

The result is a naturally rich oil with the distinctive character of native white sesame.

At Ishavasyam, we believe in bringing back traditional ways of making food, where patience, authenticity and quality matter.

From sesame farms to your kitchen, every bottle carries a little piece of India's traditional food wisdom.

Sesame oil has been a part of Indian food traditions for generations. Known as Gingelly Oil in many parts of India, it has been valued for its distinctive character and its role in regional cuisines.

Traditionally, sesame seeds were slowly pressed using wooden Ghani systems to extract their natural oil.

Over time, industrial extraction and refining methods became more common, taking us further away from these traditional practices.

At Ishavasyam, we wanted to bring that connection back.

Our White Sesame Oil is made using the traditional Wooden Kacchi Ghani method, with native white sesame varieties sourced directly from farmers in Gujarat and Rajasthan.

We believe traditional food wisdom deserves to be preserved, practised and passed on to future generations.

Because sometimes, the best way forward is to return to the way things were done before.

There is a difference between simply extracting oil and preserving the traditional art of making it.

At Ishavasyam, we follow the Wooden Kacchi Ghani method, where white sesame seeds are slowly and gradually pressed using a traditional wooden extraction system.

The oil is then naturally filtered using cloth filtration, without undergoing conventional refining processes.

This method reflects the traditional way of making oil, where patience and simple processes were valued over industrial shortcuts.

Our commitment goes beyond extraction. It includes sourcing native white sesame varieties, working directly with farmers and maintaining the authenticity of traditional Indian food practices.

We believe good food should respect its roots.

Every bottle of Ishavasyam White Sesame Oil represents more than just cooking oil. It represents our commitment to traditional food wisdom, ethical sourcing and sustainable practices.

We work towards creating a stronger connection between farmers and consumers while supporting traditional methods of food production.

As a 100% family-owned, home-grown awareness brand, our mission is to revive the way India traditionally understood and consumed food.

Your every purchase strengthens our desi cows, farmers and tribal communities.

Let's bring back the goodness of traditional Indian food.

Combined with natural cloth filtration and no refining, it brings you oil that stays closer to its original form.
