Almond Cold Pressed Oil
Pure Almond Oil, Traditionally Cold Pressed – Single Extraction Only
Ingredients and source and popularity of the grain
Our Almond Cold Pressed Oil is made using premium Gurbandi almonds, a traditional variety known for its rich oil content, strong aroma, and nutrient density. We extract our oil using a single-press method and do not repeatedly process the oil cake for additional extraction, unlike many lower-quality alternatives available in the market.
The Gurbandi almonds are sourced through trusted intermediaries from traditional almond-growing regions, known for producing small-kernel, oil-rich almonds preferred for oil extraction.
Almond oil has long been valued for its light texture, mild nutty aroma, and balanced fat profile, making it suitable for both edible use and external application. Cold pressing helps retain natural vitamin E, essential fatty acids (MUFA & PUFA), and antioxidants, unlike refined almond oils that undergo chemical processing and deodorization, which strip away nutrition and natural character.
Taste, Color, Texture, flavor and usage instructions
This oil has a mild nutty aroma, light taste, and smooth, non-greasy texture. It has a pale golden color and blends easily with food.
For edible use, it can be consumed in small quantities or used for light cooking applications where a mild, delicate oil is preferred. It does not overpower flavors.
For cosmetic and personal care use, almond oil can be applied directly to skin and hair due to its light texture and quick absorption.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Close the cap tightly after use.
In general, all cold pressed oils in 1-litre measurement may weigh slightly less than 1 kg. Weight may vary depending on seed type, extraction method, and weather conditions.
People wise Suitability
Suitable for everyday use for all age groups. Preferred by people looking for a light, versatile oil suitable for both dietary and external applications. Not positioned for specific medical or therapeutic dietary requirements. Consumption or usage should be based on individual preference and understanding.
Allergen
Contains almonds (tree nuts).
Processed in a facility that also handles mustard seeds, groundnuts, sesame seeds, gluten-containing grains, soya, legumes, coconut, and other nuts. While there is physical segregation between units, they are not air-locked.
Disclaimer
Natural variations in color, aroma, and flavor may occur due to seasonal changes in almonds. This is a natural characteristic of cold pressed oils.
In some cases, a thin layer of natural almond particles may settle at the bottom due to sedimentation. This is completely edible and indicates minimal processing and purity.

Cold Pressed Oil vs Refined Oil – What’s the Real Difference?
1. Extraction Method
Cold Pressed Oils (Chakki Peesing)
Extracted at controlled low temperatures using mechanical pressure only. Single-press extraction ensures oil is taken once and the oil cake is not reused.
Refined Oils
Produced using high heat, chemical solvents, bleaching agents, and deodorization, significantly altering the oil’s natural composition.
2. Fat Profile (MUFA & PUFA)
Cold pressed almond oil contains a balanced proportion of MUFA and PUFA, contributing to its light texture and versatility. Cold pressing preserves this natural balance.
3. Cholesterol & Fat Quality
Cold pressed oils:
- Contain no added trans fats
- Avoid hydrogenation and chemical modification
-
Support better dietary fat quality when used in moderation
Note: No oil reduces cholesterol on its own. Benefits depend on overall diet and lifestyle.
4. Single Press vs Multiple Extraction
At Chakki Peesing:
- Oil is extracted once
- Oil cake is not reprocessed
-
Ensures better purity, aroma, and nutritional integrity
5. Taste & Usage Behavior
Cold pressed almond oil retains its natural mild aroma and light texture, making it suitable for both edible and cosmetic use. Refined oils are deodorized and lack natural depth.
