How India’s Ancient Oil Extraction Works | Collections of Wooden Ghani Cold Pressed Oil with Bulls

In this video, we take you through the entire step-by-step process of extracting Sesame (Gingelly), Groundnut (Peanut), Coconut, and Badam (Almond) oils using wooden chekku (marachekku / ghani) rotated by healthy bulls — a method still followed in some parts of Tamil Nadu and South India.

Each oil is prepared without heat or chemicals, maintaining the true essence and nutrients of the seeds. Watch how seeds are sorted, loaded, crushed, and slowly turned into fresh oil, with the waste reused as cattle feed or fertilizer.
