Why Aavrin Oil
Pressed slow, on a Cold pressed, under 40°C — the way oil has always been made in Tamil homes. No solvents, no bleaching, no rush to the bottle.
The Real Difference
Cold pressed oil vs. refined oil
Both start as the same seed. What happens next is why one tastes like something and the other tastes like nothing at all.
Specification
Aavrin — Cold Pressed
Refined Oil
Extraction
Single pass through a Cold pressed, crushed slowly by stone under 40°C.
High-speed expeller followed by hexane solvent extraction, then heated again to strip the solvent.
Nutrients
Natural vitamin E, antioxidants and phytosterols stay in the oil.
Largely stripped out by repeated heating, degumming and bleaching.
Aroma & taste
Full seed aroma, distinct flavour that changes slightly with each harvest.
Deodorised and neutralised to a flat, uniform taste.
Additives
None. Just seed and pressure.
Bleaching earth, degumming acids, deodorising agents.
Colour
Naturally deep amber, varies gently by season and batch.
Uniform pale yellow, standardised by processing.
Yield philosophy
Deliberately low yield — oil left in the cake means quality left in the bottle.
Maximised yield through solvent extraction leaves nothing behind, at any cost.

The Aavrin Standard
What stays true in every bottle
01
Single-origin seed
Sourced from known farms, one variety per batch — never blended with cheaper fillers to stretch a harvest.
02
Cold Pressed
Slow rotation, low friction, extraction that takes hours instead of minutes — so heat never builds up.
03
Batch-tested purity
Every batch checked for free fatty acid content and adulteration before it's ever bottled.
