Cold Pressed Groundnut Oil – Pure, Traditional & Chemical-Free
Cold pressed groundnut oil, also known as Kadalai Ennai, is a traditional Indian cooking oil extracted using the age-old chekku method. At Kayal Agro Foods, our cold pressed groundnut oil is made without chemicals, bleaching agents, or high heat — ensuring you get pure taste, natural aroma, and real nutrition in every drop.
If you are looking for a healthy, authentic alternative to refined oils, Kayal Cold Pressed Groundnut Oil is ideal for everyday Indian cooking.

What Is Cold Pressed Groundnut Oil?
Cold pressed groundnut oil is extracted by crushing high-quality peanuts at low temperatures using a traditional wooden press. Unlike refined oils, this method does not involve heat treatment, solvents, or chemical processing.
Because of this gentle extraction process, cold pressed groundnut oil:
- Retains its natural nutrients
- Preserves the original nutty aroma
- Maintains a golden natural colour
- Is easier to digest than refined oils
Kayal follows traditional processing to ensure purity, freshness, and consistency.
