Arachis hypogaea · pressed at Smallholder farms, Gujarat
Groundnut Oil
शेंगदाणा तेल
Bold, nutty and unmistakably alive. Pressed slowly from sun-dried groundnuts so the oil never meets heat it did not earn. Cold pressed, unrefined, with nothing added and nothing removed.

- October – December
Rain-fed groundnut grown on black cotton soil by smallholder families.
Groundnuts arrive in jute, never plastic, still carrying field dust. We hand-sort for shrivelled and split kernels, then rest them until their moisture settles to the level our press has always liked.
The ghani is a carved hardwood mortar with a wooden pestle, turning at fourteen rotations a minute. At that speed the nuts are crushed and kneaded rather than shredded, and the mortar never climbs past forty-one degrees. Nothing is added: no water, no steam, no solvent, no bleaching earth.
What drains out is cloudy and fragrant. It rests, drops its own sediment, passes through cotton muslin twice, and goes into the bottle the same week it was pressed.
