Advantages of Cold Pressed Oil for You and Your Kitchen

The advantages of cold pressed oil include better heart function, natural flavour, no chemicals, and suitability for Indian cooking. They are extracted at low temperatures to retain nutrients like vitamin E, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids. These oils are also versatile for skincare, haircare, and wellness. Tata Simply Better’s range of cold pressed oils - like groundnut, coconut, mustard, sesame, sunflower, and olive - provide a pure, nutritious alternative to refined oils, supporting everyday well-being in your kitchen and beyond.
The advantages of cold pressed oil go far beyond just great taste. And that’s exactly what cold pressed oils offer: the natural goodness of seeds and nuts, extracted without heat, without chemicals, and without compromise.
What Are Cold Pressed Oils, Anyway?
Before we dive into the advantages of cold pressed oil, here’s a quick refresher. Cold pressing is a traditional method of oil extraction where seeds or nuts are mechanically pressed at low temperatures (below 50°C). This ensures the oil retains its natural nutrients, antioxidants, and aroma - without any chemical interference or high-heat damage.
At Tata Simply Better, we use only A1-grade seeds and nuts to create oils that are unrefined, pure, and packed with authentic flavour. Think of it as oil in its most honest form.
1. Rich in Natural Nutrients
Because the oil isn't exposed to high heat or harsh refining processes, it retains:
-
Vitamin E - A powerful antioxidant that supports skin, immunity, and better heart function.
-
Essential Fatty Acids - Such as omega-3 and omega-6, which help manage cholesterol and improve brain function.
-
Plant Compounds - Like polyphenols and sterols that offer anti-inflammatory benefits.
2. No Chemicals or Preservatives
Refined oils often undergo processes like bleaching, deodorising, and chemical neutralisation. In contrast, cold pressed oils skip all of that. The result? Cleaner oil that doesn’t need additives to extend shelf life or mask odours.
When you choose Tata Simply Better cold pressed oils, you're saying goodbye to unnecessary fillers and synthetic agents.
3. Great for Everyday Indian Cooking
Another reason to love the advantages of cold pressed oil? They’re tailor-made for Indian kitchens. Whether you’re making a tadka for dal, shallow frying cutlets, or preparing sabzi, these oils hold up beautifully.
Here’s a quick guide to our favourites:
-

4. Supports Heart Function
Thanks to their high content of unsaturated fats and zero trans fats, one of the key advantages of cold pressed oil is cardiovascular support. These oils can help:
-
Lower LDL (bad) cholesterol
-
Raise HDL (good) cholesterol
-
Improve arterial function
5. Better Flavour and Aroma
Have you ever noticed that your food tastes richer when cooked with cold pressed oils? That’s because they retain the natural aroma and flavour of the seeds they come from. Whether it's the earthy punch of mustard oil or the tropical notes of coconut, these oils bring authenticity to your cooking that refined oils just can't match.
The advantages of cold pressed oil aren’t just nutritional - they’re culinary too.
6. Sustainable and Traditionally Inspired
Cold pressing is not just a process - it’s a philosophy. It reflects a gentler, more sustainable way of creating food. Minimal processing, less energy consumption, and reduced waste make cold pressed oils better for the planet and better for our bodies.
At Tata Simply Better, we’ve revived this time-honoured technique to meet modern standards. Our oils celebrate the wisdom of tradition - without compromising on today’s expectations for quality.
7. Versatile Beyond Cooking
You’ll love this: the advantages of cold pressed oil extend beyond the kitchen. These oils can be used for:
-
Skincare - Coconut and olive oils are natural moisturisers.
-
Haircare - Sesame and mustard oils promote scalp strength and shine.
-
Massage and Wellness - Great for Ayurvedic practices and aromatherapy.

To enjoy the full advantages of cold pressed oil, proper storage is key:
