About the brand

What we mean by
"Deliciously Healthy"

"Healthy does not always mean complicated. It means using oil that supports everyday meals without unnecessary additives or alteration."

At RAS Cold Pressed Oils, we focus on keeping the oil natural in character and steady in performance. And when the oil is right, the food tastes right.

Natural in Character

Cold pressing preserves the seed's inherent aroma, colour, and flavour nothing is stripped away or artificially added back.

Steady in Performance

Batch after batch, year after year the same quality you've trusted since the first time you cooked with RAS.

Rooted in Tradition

The Chekku (rotary press) method is over a millennia old. We've kept its soul while scaling it with care for modern kitchens.

Dual Purpose Trust

Pure enough to cook with, trusted enough for skin and hair, the same oil your grandmother used for everything.

Market Presence

From India's farms
to your home

Manufactured in Kangayam, RAS Cold Pressed Oils supplies products across Tamil Nadu through organised retail, trade, and institutional channels.

For our sesame oil, we procure first-grade sesame seeds known for natural aroma and flavour from agricultural regions across India including Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu.
