Elite Sesame Seed Oil 1L(Black & Brown)
Naturish Elite Sesame Oil is a 100% pure, cold-pressed oil extracted from the finest organically grown sesame seeds to retain its natural nutrients, aroma, and flavor. Our traditional extraction process ensures that you get unrefined, chemical-free, and preservative-free sesame oil with all its natural goodness intact.
Til oil — the way mum cooked with.
Every Indian kitchen has a bottle of til oil. This is ours — single-origin Indian sesame, stone-milled in our wooden marachekku since 1965, bottled honest.
How our sesame oil reaches you.
Hand-selected black + brown seeds
A traditional blend of black and brown sesame seeds, hand-cleaned and sorted. No mixing with cheaper refined oils, no fillers — just two seeds that complement each other.
Gently roasted at low heat
Small-batch roasted to activate the natural earthy aroma without destroying antioxidants. Just enough warmth to bring out the deep flavour the blend is known for.
Stone-milled in marachekku
Slow-pressed in a traditional wooden marachekku at below 40°C. The slow grind preserves sesamin and sesamolin — the antioxidants that make sesame oil special.
Settled & HDPE-bottled
Naturally settled for 7 days, then bottled in HDPE at our FSSAI-certified facility in Thrissur. Edible-grade . QR code on every bottle → batch lab report.
From tempering pan to massage palm.
In Kerala and Tamil Nadu, the same sesame oil that goes into the tadka also goes onto the body. We've kept that tradition alive — and added the lab tests to prove it.
Cooking — high heat, deep flavour
Smoke point of ~210°C means you can temper, sauté, and shallow-fry without breakdown. The slow-roasted seeds deliver a depth of nutty flavour that refined oils simply can't.
- Tempering (mustard, curry leaves, dal)
- Chettinad, Andhra & Kerala curries
- Dosa, idli, chutneys
- Salad finisher (drizzle, don't heat)
Abhyanga — Ayurveda's ritual
In Ayurveda, sesame is the king of oils for self-massage. Its molecular size lets it penetrate deeply into skin and joints. We test ours for cosmetic-grade purity so you can rub it on a baby — and on yourself.
- Full-body Abhyanga (warm, then massage)
- Scalp oil — applied 1 hour before wash
- Joint massage (knees, lower back, shoulders)
- Oil pulling (kavala) — 5 minutes, morning
Stone-milled vs supermarket gingelly.
Most supermarket gingelly oil is high-heat extracted and refined. Ours is stone-milled in a wooden marachekku, bottled honest.

Zero refining, zero bleaching, zero chemicals. Cold-pressed only. Honest sesame oil the way it has always been made.
Stone-milled in awooden marachekku — the way Tamil grandmothers have for centuries..
Sesame oil has been a staple of Indian kitchens for over 5,000 years. At our Thrissur facility, we still press it the way grandmothers did: a blend of black and brown seeds in a wooden marachekku at under 40°C. Slow. Cold. Unhurried.

Til oil FAQ.
Is this the same as supermarket gingelly oil? +
Yes and no. Same til seed origin, but ours is stone-milled in a wooden marachekku at below 40°C — most supermarket gingelly is high-heat extracted. The taste is what your grandmother would have remembered.
How long does 1 litre last a family of 4? +
Daily tadka + occasional finishing: roughly 2-3 months. If you also use it for weekly hair oil ritual: about 2 months. Refrigerate to extend shelf life to 1 year.
Can I use this for deep frying? +
Smoke point is ~210°C — fine for tempering, sautéing, shallow frying. For deep frying at very high heat (above 220°C), a refined oil is better suited.
Can I use the same bottle for cooking and body massage? +
Yes. Our til oil is dual-grade certified — FSSAI for edible use and cosmetic-grade for topical use. The traditional Indian practice — same oil in the kadai and on the head.
How is this different from Naturish Black Sesame Oil? +
Our Black Sesame Oil (Karuppu Ellu) is the premium variety — higher in sesamin, traditionally used in Ayurveda. This Brown Til Oil is our everyday family-priced option — same marachekku method, more affordable.
How long does the oil stay fresh once opened? +
6 months at room temperature in dark glass, away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration extends to 12 months but may cause natural cloudiness — let it warm to room temperature before use.
Is this oil safe for babies, children, and pregnant women? +
Yes for topical use (massage). For internal use during pregnancy, consult your healthcare provider. Til oil is traditionally used for baby massage — do a patch test first for infants under 6 months.
Is the oil organic? +
Our til is single-origin Indian sesame, grown without chemical pesticides. We don't carry NPOP organic certification on this product yet, but the cultivation method is traditional. For NPOP-certified, see our organic VCO range.
How do I read the QR code for batch lab reports? +
Every bottle has a QR code on the back label. Scan with any smartphone camera — it opens a web page showing that batch's full lab test results.
