• How It Is Extracted: Wood-pressed (lakdi ghani) oil is cold-extracted using a slow-rotating wooden pestle (ghani) that crushes raw oilseeds or nuts inside a wooden mortar. The seeds are pressed slowly at low ambient temperatures using traditional wooden equipment. No chemical solvents, refining acids, or synthetic heat treatments are ever used.
• Why It Is Important: Slow wooden pressing gives you an unrefined oil with the seed or nut's characteristic aroma and texture. Flavour and composition depend on the raw ingredients, pressing conditions and storage; refer to the product information for its declared composition.
• Where the Method Came From: The lakdi ghani method is part of India's traditional oil-pressing heritage. Village communities have long used wooden churns to press oilseeds locally for cooking and customary self-care uses.
• Why It Is Necessary These Days: Wood-pressed oils offer a traditional preparation option for people who prefer unrefined oils. Match the oil's flavour and intended uses to the meals or routines you enjoy, and follow the ingredient, allergen and care guidance on your bottle.

Vandan Agro (Satara) — Built on Purity & Local Roots

Behind every bottle of our Wood-Pressed Almond Oil is a story of a "Return to Roots."

Roots in Satara

A few years ago, when an interest in traditional ingredients prompted a closer look at familiar food-making methods, our partner at Vandan Agro saw the real gap in everyday cooking and body-care oils. He wanted to explore the flavour and preparation methods of traditional everyday oils. After spending five years working closely in the oil industry and understanding the machinery and processing methods, he chose a different path—reviving the traditional wooden press (lakdi ghani).

He set up his extraction unit right here in Satara district, Maharashtra, just a short distance from our Past In Present Agro warehouse.

Empowering Rural Villagers

His setup does more than press oil. By establishing the unit in the village near our facility, he created direct, steady employment for local villagers, supporting rural livelihoods while bringing back the slow, traditional practices he grew up with. Every batch—from premium-grade almond to groundnut, sunflower, mustard, and coconut—is crushed using heavy wooden pestles at ambient room temperatures.

A Shared Commitment

When we at Past In Present Agro first saw his uncompromising focus on raw seed quality and clean extraction, partnering was an obvious choice. Over the years, this shared commitment has reached homes across India. That consistency shows in the trust of our community: batch after batch, year after year, delivered without a single drop of compromise.

• Skin Moisturizing: Where the label permits, apply a small amount to intact skin after patch-testing. Avoid the eyes and irritated skin.
• Hair Conditioning: Where permitted by the label, use a little for hair oiling, conditioning and added shine. Smooth sparingly over the lengths or ends to suit your usual routine; this is cosmetic care, not a hair-growth treatment.
• Massage Precautions: Single-ingredient composition does not guarantee suitability for every skin type. Consult a pediatrician before infant use and check the almond allergen information.
• Culinary Use: If your bottle is labelled for dietary use, enjoy its almond flavour as part of a varied diet and follow the pack directions.

1. Facial Moisturizing
How:
If permitted by the label, patch-test first and apply a small amount to intact facial skin. Avoid the eyes and stop if irritation occurs.
Why: A simple way to moisturise intact skin with a small amount of single-ingredient almond oil. This is everyday cosmetic care, not treatment for a skin condition.

2. Scalp Conditioning & Hair Serum
How:
If the label permits hair use, massage gently into the scalp before washing, or smooth a tiny drop onto damp hair tips. Patch-test first and avoid use if allergic to almonds.
Why: Adds a conditioning touch to your usual hair-oiling routine. Use a small amount to suit your hair; this is cosmetic care rather than a hair-growth treatment.

3. Traditional Culinary Use
How:
Only if the bottle is labelled for dietary use, add a little to warm milk or drizzle over warm cereals, following the pack directions.
Why: Adds almond flavour to food; follow dietary-use instructions and allergen information on your bottle.

• General Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, stove heat, and moisture.
• Airtight Care: Keep the cap sealed tightly after every use to prevent oxidation.
• Temperature Note: In cooler temperatures, slight cloudiness or thickening is a completely natural physical property of raw plant fats and does not by itself establish purity.
• Everyday Bottle Care: Keep the original bottle upright in a cool, dry, dark cupboard, away from sunny windows, the stove and other heat sources. Close the cap promptly and tightly after every use to limit contact with air. Keep water, steam and wet utensils out of the oil; use only clean, completely dry utensils and do not pour used oil back into the bottle.
• After Opening & Freshness: Note the opening date and follow the printed best-before date and any shorter after-opening instructions on the pack. Opening does not restart the shelf life. Do not continue using oil if it develops an unusual rancid or stale smell; contact us if you are unsure.
