Our Extraction Process

Every bottle of Vistara oil is a result of a process refined over thousands of years — slow, pure, and completely natural.

Cold Pressed Method

Cold Pressed Oil Process

Cold pressing uses mechanical force — no heat, no chemicals. The result is oil in its most natural, nutrient-rich state.

🌱01

Seed Selection

Only premium quality, pesticide-free seeds are selected from trusted local farmers. Each batch is inspected for moisture content and purity.

02

Cleaning & Sorting

Seeds are thoroughly cleaned to remove dust, stones, and impurities using mechanical sorting systems and hand-picking.

🌡️03

Cold Extraction

Seeds are pressed at temperatures below 40°C using high-pressure mechanical presses. No heat, no chemicals — only mechanical force.

🫗04

Natural Filtration

The raw oil is filtered through natural cloth filters to remove seed sediment. No bleaching, no deodorizing, no chemical processing.

📦05

Bottling & Packaging

Filtered oil is bottled in food-grade bottles in a hygienic facility and sealed immediately to preserve freshness.

Wood Pressed Method

Wood Pressed (Ghani) Process

The Ghani method is the most traditional form of oil extraction — slow, ancient, and producing the most complete oil possible.

🌾01

Raw Seeds

Carefully selected seeds — groundnut, sesame, coconut, or mustard — sourced directly from farms without chemical treatment.

🏺02

Wooden Ghani Press

Seeds are loaded into the traditional wooden Ghani — a large wooden mortar and pestle system that rotates at just 6-8 RPM, generating minimal heat.

03

Slow Extraction

The Ghani rotates slowly for several hours, gently pressing oil from the seeds without raising temperature above 35°C. This is the critical step that preserves all nutrients.

🪣04

Natural Settling

Pressed oil is allowed to settle naturally in clay pots for 24-48 hours. Sediment sinks to the bottom without any centrifugation or chemical treatment.

📦05

Packaging

Clear, naturally settled oil is carefully decanted and sealed in premium glass or food-grade HDPE bottles for maximum freshness.
