The difference
Why cold pressed oil is worth the switch
Refined oil is crushed at high heat, washed with hexane, bleached and deodorised until nothing of the seed is left but fat. Our oils never see any of that. Groundnut, coconut, sesame and mustard seeds go into a wooden chekku that turns slowly enough to stay under 40°C, so the natural antioxidants, vitamin E and aroma survive the press.
- Naturally rich in vitamin E and antioxidants
- Keeps the true taste and smell of the seed
- No hexane, no bleaching agents, no artificial preservatives
- Filtered by settling — never chemically clarified
- Pressed in small batches, so every bottle is fresh
Our press
The chekku, then and now
The method has not changed in two thousand years — only the muscle behind it has. Every drop we sell still comes out of a slow-turning wooden pestle.
Small batch
Batch press & settle
Each batch is pressed, then left to settle and filter naturally. No heat, no hexane, no chemical clarification.
Food grade
Wood-body cold press
Wooden housing with a stainless steel hopper and collection bowl, so nothing but food-grade surfaces touch the oil.
Good for the family
What you get in every bottle
Traditional pressing keeps the goodness that industrial refining strips out. Here is what that means on your kitchen shelf.
Heart friendly fats
Unrefined oils keep their natural balance of MUFA and PUFA, the fats that support healthy cholesterol levels.
Pressed under 40°C
Low temperature protects vitamin E, lecithin and the plant sterols that heat destroys.
Real taste, real aroma
Sambar, poriyal or a simple dosai — food cooked in chekku oil tastes the way it did at home.
Direct from farmers
We buy seed straight from growers in and around Thoothukudi. No middlemen, better price for both sides.
Packed the week it's made
Nothing sits in a warehouse for months. Small batches mean the oil reaches you fresh.
Tested and certified
Every batch is lab checked for purity. FSSAI 22426354000527, GSTIN 33ABCDE1234F1Z5.

“Sesame oil quality is genuine, you can tell from the colour and smell. Only wish the 5 litre can was in stock more often.”

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between cold pressed and refined oil?
Cold pressed oil is extracted by crushing the seed slowly in a wooden chekku at under 40°C, with no chemicals involved. Refined oil is extracted with heat and solvents such as hexane, then bleached and deodorised. Cold pressed oil keeps the natural nutrients, colour and aroma of the seed; refined oil does not.
How long does cold pressed oil stay good?
Six months from the pressing date when stored in a cool, dark place with the cap closed tight. Keep it away from the stove and from direct sunlight. A little sediment at the bottom is normal — it is seed matter, not spoilage.
Is the sediment at the bottom of the bottle a problem?
No. We filter by natural settling instead of chemical clarification, so fine seed particles remain. It is a sign the oil has not been over-processed.
How much does delivery cost and how long does it take?
Delivery is ₹60.00, and free on orders above ₹1,000.00. Orders usually reach you within 4 days across Tamil Nadu, a little longer for other states.
Do you offer cash on delivery?
Yes. Cash on delivery is available on orders up to ₹10,000.00. You can also pay instantly by UPI.
Which oil should I use for daily cooking?
For everyday South Indian cooking, groundnut and sesame (gingelly) oil handle regular frying temperatures well. Coconut oil suits poriyal, curries and hair care. Mustard oil works for pickles and North Indian dishes. Many families keep two or three and rotate them.
Can I track my order?
Yes. Use the Track order page with your order number and phone number to see exactly where your parcel is.

Buy cold pressed oil online from Avee Foods
Avee Foods is a farmer-first food brand based in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu. We press groundnut, coconut, sesame and mustard oil in traditional wooden chekku machines, pack them in small batches and ship them across India. Every seed is bought directly from growers we know by name, which keeps the price fair on both ends and lets us stand behind what goes into the bottle.
Traditional marachekku, not machine refining
Marachekku ennai — wood pressed oil — is made the way it was before industrial refineries arrived. The seed is crushed slowly against a wooden pestle, and the friction never pushes the oil past 40°C. Because there is no heat spike and no solvent wash, the vitamin E, antioxidants, natural aroma and colour stay where they belong.
Our range
Cold pressed groundnut oil for everyday frying, virgin coconut oil for curries and hair care, gingelly (sesame) oil for pickles and traditional recipes, and cold pressed mustard oil for North Indian cooking. Alongside the oils we stock hand-picked nuts and traditional dry foods, all from the same farmer network.
