How Sarvashreshta makes traditional bull-driven groundnut, coconut and sesame oils
Follow our process from ingredient preparation through the traditional wooden bull-driven press, natural settling and careful bottling.
We want customers to understand what happens before the bottle
Traditional oil is not defined by packaging. The process begins with the seed or nut and continues through preparation, pressing, settling and bottling.
Step 1: select and prepare the ingredients
Groundnuts, coconuts, sesame seeds and other ingredients are prepared according to the oil being made. Cleaning before pressing is an important part of the process.
Step 2: traditional wooden bull-driven pressing
The prepared ingredient enters our traditional wooden pressing setup. A bull provides the slow rotational movement that drives the press and extracts the oil.
Step 3: natural settling
Freshly extracted oil is allowed time to settle naturally. We prefer an understandable process rather than unnecessary intervention simply to make the oil look highly processed.
Step 4: careful packing
After settling and handling, the oil is packed for delivery. Product pages show available sizes so customers can choose a pack that fits their household usage.
