Good oil begins long before it reaches the bottle. It starts with the quality of the seeds and continues through every stage of extraction, filtration, settling and packaging.
At Raadha Pure, we follow a careful, traditional process to produce our wood-pressed oils. Here is how selected seeds are transformed into the oil that reaches your kitchen.
Step 1: Selecting Quality Seeds
The process begins with choosing good-quality seeds.
Seed quality can influence the oil’s natural colour, aroma and flavour. We therefore pay attention to the condition and quality of the seeds before they enter the extraction process.
Different oils begin with different ingredients, including groundnuts, mustard seeds, sunflower seeds, safflower seeds and coconuts.
Step 2: Extracting the Oil Using a Wood-Pressed Machine
The selected seeds are placed in a traditional wood-pressed oil machine.
The machine applies steady mechanical pressure to extract the oil from the seeds. This is a slower and more traditional process than industrial refining.
The freshly extracted oil naturally contains fine seed particles and sediment, so it moves through several careful filtration and settling stages before bottling.
Step 3: First Filtration Through a Stainless-Steel Sieve
Immediately after extraction, the oil is passed through a stainless-steel sieve.
This first filtration removes the larger seed particles and residue produced during pressing. Stainless steel provides a clean and hygienic surface for handling the freshly extracted oil.
The oil may still contain very fine natural particles at this stage. These are removed gradually rather than through heavy industrial processing.
Step 4: Resting in a Stainless-Steel Tank
After the first filtration, the oil is transferred to a stainless-steel storage tank.
It is allowed to rest in the tank for approximately four to five days. During this period, the heavier natural particles slowly settle at the bottom through gravity.
This resting stage is an important part of our process. Instead of rushing the oil directly from the machine into bottles, we give the fine sediment time to separate naturally.
Step 5: Cloth Filtration and Transfer
Once the sediment has settled, the clearer oil from the upper portion of the tank is carefully filtered through a clean cloth.
This second filtration helps remove the remaining fine particles. The filtered oil is then transferred into another clean stainless-steel tank, where it is held until it is ready for packing.
Some natural variation in colour or clarity may still occur between different oils and production batches. This is normal for traditionally processed oils made from agricultural ingredients.
Step 6: Filling and Packing the Bottles
The filtered oil is filled into clean bottles and securely capped.
Care is taken during filling and packing to protect the oil and prevent contamination, leakage or unnecessary exposure.
Every bottle is checked before it moves to the final labelling stage.
Step 7: Labelling
Finally, the appropriate Raadha Pure product label is applied to each bottle.
The label identifies the type of oil and provides the relevant product information. After labelling and final inspection, the bottles are prepared for storage and dispatch.
A Careful Process From Beginning to End
Our process can be summarised in seven stages:
-
Select quality seeds
-
Extract the oil using a wood-pressed machine
-
Filter it through a stainless-steel sieve
-
Allow it to rest for four to five days
-
Filter it through cloth and transfer it to a clean tank
-
Fill and pack the bottles
-
Apply the labels and conduct a final inspection
From selecting the seeds to packing the finished bottles, every stage is handled carefully.
That is the journey of Raadha Pure oil—from seeds to your kitchen.
