Product Description

Sesame oil, traditionally known as Gingelly oil or Nallennai, is a rich edible vegetable oil extracted from sesame seeds. Recognized as an integral component of South Indian culinary heritage, this oil is celebrated for its distinctive warm, nutty flavor profile and deeply aromatic qualities. It features a golden to dark amber color depending on the seed variety and traditional extraction technique, offering a smooth liquid texture suitable for diverse kitchen applications.

Beyond daily cooking, sesame oil holds a prominent position in traditional Indian home routines and wellness practices.
