Seed selection
Each batch begins with seeds or nuts selected and prepared for pressing.
At Sarvashreshta Organics, our oil-making process is rooted in a slower traditional method: a wooden press driven by a bull, followed by natural settling and careful bottling. This is the process people may also search for as wooden chekku, mara chekku, wooden ghani, bullock-driven or wood-pressed oil.

“Cold pressed” can describe many kinds of equipment. Our distinction is the traditional wooden press and slow bull-driven movement used during extraction.
Each batch begins with seeds or nuts selected and prepared for pressing.
Ingredients are cleaned before they enter the press.
The wooden pressing mechanism turns slowly with bull-driven power rather than relying on a high-speed industrial extraction step.
Freshly extracted oil is given time to settle naturally before packing.
The oil is packed for your home with minimal unnecessary intervention.
Across India, people use different terms for traditional oil extraction. Chekku or mara chekku commonly refers to a wooden press, while ghani is another familiar traditional term. Wood pressed describes the pressing material, and bull-driven describes how our press receives its slow rotational power.
These terms are not always used identically by every producer, so we prefer to show the process clearly: our oils are made using a traditional wooden bull-driven press as part of our cold-press method.
We do not claim “zero heat” because any physical pressing can create some friction heat. Our focus is the slow traditional method, transparent process and straightforward oil.
Bull-driven oil is extracted using a traditional press in which a bull provides the slow rotational movement that powers the wooden pressing mechanism. At Sarvashreshta Organics, this traditional method is used as part of our cold-press process.
The terms overlap in everyday usage. Chekku, mara chekku, wooden ghani and wood-pressed oil generally refer to traditional pressing methods. Bull-driven describes how the press is powered in our process.
No. Pressing naturally creates some friction heat. We describe our method as a slow traditional cold-press process rather than claiming zero heat.
Our range includes traditional oils such as groundnut, coconut and sesame oil. Product availability and pack sizes are shown on the individual product pages.
The method is valued for its slower, less industrial style of extraction and for preserving the natural character, aroma and flavour associated with traditional oils.
