Wood Pressed Black Mustard Oil
1.What is the difference between refined and cold-pressed oils?
Refined oils are colourless, odourless, and flavourless fluids - stripped of their natural goodness. They’re extracted using chemical solvents and high-speed grinding that generates heat up to 100°C, destroying the oil’s nutrients and flavour while forming harmful trans fats.
In contrast, Ritvaam Cold-Pressed Oils are extracted in a traditional wooden Kolhu at temperatures below 50°C — the way Bengal’s ancestors did it. This slow and time-honoured process retains the oil’s natural aroma, antioxidants, vitamins, and healthy fats. What you get is a bottle of authentic, nutrient-rich oil—pure, aromatic, and alive with its original flavour.2.Why is Ritvaam mustard oil expensive?
Ritvaam Wood-Pressed Mustard Oil is made from fresh, native Bengal mustard seeds, extracted using the first-press method in a wooden Kolhu. Our oils are unrefined, unbleached, and chemical-free, ensuring that every drop retains its genuine aroma, antioxidants, and nutrients. We don’t industrialize nature - we preserve it. Each batch supports small farmers, honours Bengal’s food legacy, and offers you a product that’s honest, authentic, and heritage-worthy. That’s why it costs more - and why it’s truly worth it.
3.How can I use Black Mustard Oil for cooking?
Ritvaam’s Black Mustard Oil is bold, aromatic, and versatile - just like Bengal’s cuisine. With its high smoke point, it’s perfect for sautéing, stir-frying, or deep-frying vegetables and fish. It adds depth to marinades, brings life to salads, and acts as a natural preservative in traditional aachar. The signature pungency of Bengal’s mustard gives every dish a comforting, nostalgic flavour - taking you right back to your grandmother’s kitchen.
4.Can I use it for body massage?
Absolutely. For generations in Bengal, wood-pressed mustard oil has been a trusted natural massage oil. A regular massage helps relieve muscle stiffness, improve blood circulation, and soothe aching joints.
Because Ritvaam Mustard Oil is 100% pure and chemical-free, it’s safe for topical use (unless you’re allergic). We recommend a small patch test before applying directly, as a gentle precaution. Experience the warmth of Bengal’s traditional self-care ritual with every massage.
4.Is mustard oil good for hair?
Yes - and how! 🌿 Black mustard oil is rich in vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids, which deeply nourish the scalp, strengthen roots, and help reduce dandruff and hair fall. A few drops of Ritvaam Wood-Pressed Mustard Oil massaged gently into the scalp not only hydrates your hair but also connects you with a centuries-old Bengal tradition of natural hair care - where purity and nourishment go hand in hand.
