Cold-Pressed vs Wood-Pressed Oil: Which Method Delivers Better Flavour, Nutrition and Value?

Understanding the two traditional extraction methods

Although both methods aim to obtain oil without the high heat or harsh chemicals used in modern solvent extraction, “wood-pressed” and “cold-pressed” are not interchangeable terms.

AspectWood-pressed oil (chekku/ghani)Cold-pressed oil (general modern method)EquipmentWooden mortar and pestle (usually a slow-turning pestle driven by a bullock or low-RPM motor). The wood absorbs some heat and helps moderate the temperature.Stainless-steel or food-grade alloy screw press run by an electric motor; wooden parts are rarely involved.Operating speed & temperatureVery slow (6–14 rpm). Friction heat seldom exceeds 35 ��C.Faster (30–60 rpm or more); industry standard keeps the temperature under 50 °C, but brief spikes can occur.YieldLower; about 25–30 % of the seed weight, leaving a moister cake.Slightly higher (28–35 %) owing to tighter mechanical pressure.Flavour & aromaCharacteristically nutty, robust, and closer to the original seed/nut; small wood particles can impart a mellow note.Clean, mild flavour; less variation from batch to batch.Nutrient retentionExcellent preservation of delicate antioxidants (tocopherols, polyphenols) because of minimal heat and oxygen exposure.Still good, but marginally more heat and shear can reduce some heat-sensitive components.Shelf-lifeShorter; residual moisture and the absence of added preservatives mean it should be consumed within 4–6 months.Slightly longer (6–9 months) provided it is filtered well and stored away from light.Typical marketing claim“Chekku”, “Lakdi ghani”, “Kachi ghani”. Often sold in local or artisanal markets.“Cold-pressed” on supermarket shelves; certification sometimes available (≤ 50 °C extraction).Cost & scalabilityHigher cost per litre; production is small-batch and labour-intensive.More economical at scale; suitable for medium- to large-scale bottlers.

Key take-aways for home cooks

Process distinction Wood-pressed oil is always a form of cold pressing, but it uses a wooden pestle that keeps friction – and therefore temperature – even lower than modern metal presses.

Taste and culinary use If you prefer a pronounced, almost rustic flavour for sautéing, dressings, or finishing dishes, a wood-pressed oil (especially ground-nut, sesame or coconut) is hard to beat. Cold-pressed oils offer a cleaner profile suited to neutral cooking or baking.

Nutritional edge Both retain more natural vitamins, phyto-sterols, and antioxidants than refined oils, yet the extra-low heat of wood pressing gives it a slight advantage. Either variety loses goodness when repeatedly heated above 180 °C, so reserve them for low- to medium-heat cooking.

Storage caution Because neither variety is refined, they contain fine seed sediments that hasten oxidation. Buy in small quantities, keep the bottle tightly capped, and store it in a cool, dark cupboard.

Authenticity checks Look for batch dates, natural cloudiness (not turbidity caused by moisture), and an aroma that matches the seed. A sharp or paint-like smell suggests rancidity.

Which should you choose?

For maximum flavour and a touch of tradition – choose wood-pressed, knowing you will pay a premium and need to finish the bottle sooner.

For everyday healthy cooking with a lighter taste – a reputable cold-pressed brand offers most of the nutritional benefits at a friendlier price and with slightly longer shelf-life.

Either way, both are a significant improvement over solvent-extracted, highly refined oils if your goal is to keep dishes wholesome and aromatic.

Ideas of what clone^2 duo looks like! The full body photos are before they got their suits, then with their suit designs below in a more cartoony-look

I thought anout giving Danny a jacket with his pre-suit look but. I didn’t wanna risk ruining the pose with an attempt to make a jacket

[simptasia]

the amount of times people used to try to bait my mum into dunking on me in a "stressed out mother complains about their problem child" way and never fucking once did she fall for it. because she fucking adored me and loved me. seeing a mother unconditionally love their child really pisses some people off

Thanks for making me cry 🥲
