Why cold pressing changes everything
Heat is efficient. It is also destructive. Here is what happens to a mustard seed at 40°C versus 200°C, and why we accept a lower yield.

Oils worth switching for
What people tell us
“This is not the oil we used to cook with.”
Meera K. — Brampton, ON
From seed to bottle
The wooden ghani way
Eight unhurried steps, the same for every oil we press.
- 01
Seed Selection
Mustard, sesame, flax, almond, kalonji, peanut and coconut are sourced from trusted growers and graded by hand.
- 02
Cleaning
Seeds and nuts are de-stoned, sieved and air-cleaned to remove dust, chaff and foreign matter.
- 03
Drying
Gentle sun and air drying brings moisture to the exact level the press needs.
- 04
Cold Pressing
A slow wooden press turns at low RPM so no oil in the range ever overheats.
- 05
Natural Filtration
Oil rests and settles, then passes through cloth filters. No chemical refining.
- 06
Storage
Held in stainless steel, away from light and air, until the day it is bottled.
- 07
Packaging
Filled into UV-protective amber glass and sealed with a tamper-evident cap.
- 08
Oil Cake Reuse
The leftover seed cake returns to farms as high-protein cattle feed and fertiliser.
Why Golden Drops
The slow way is the only way we know
Industrial oil is fast, hot and chemically stripped. Ours is not. We press cold, filter naturally and accept a lower yield, because everything that makes a seed or nut worth using — flavour, aroma, colour and nutrition — lives in the parts refining throws away.
- Cold pressed at low temperature
- No chemicals or solvents
- Traditional wood-press process
- Eight single-origin oils
- Premium graded seeds and nuts
- Rich in Omega 3 & 6
