Key Benefits

  • Strong Sesame Aroma

    Because sesame oil has a bold, nutty fragrance, it is preferred for dishes where the oil’s flavour is meant to be noticed.

  • Deep, Natural Colour

    The naturally darker colour reflects traditional preparation and suits recipes where authentic sesame oil is expected.

  • Flavour-Forward Cooking Oil

    Its rich taste means smaller quantities are sufficient, making it ideal for tempering, podi mixes, and special dishes.

  • Traditionally Prepared

    Made using wooden marachekku methods, it performs well in hot cooking and slow-cooked recipes without losing character.

Regai's Cold Pressed Sesame Oil is extracted from pure sesame seeds using the traditional wood-pressed method. No heat, no chemicals, no refining — just bold, aromatic nallennai the way Tamil kitchens have always known it.

The Bold Oil of Tamil Kitchens.

Strong aroma. Deep flavour. The oil that makes every dish unmistakably Tamil. Perfect for tempering, pickles, traditional cooking, and oil baths. One whiff and you know it's the real thing.

Unrefined. No chemicals. No preservatives. Just pure cold pressed sesame oil.

Available in 500ml and 1L.

Rich in natural antioxidants — sesamol and sesamin help protect cells and support long-term health.

Supports bone and joint health — traditionally used for its warming and strengthening properties.

Heart-friendly fats — contains polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats that support healthy cholesterol.

Natural vitamin E source — supports skin health, immunity, and overall vitality.

Anti-inflammatory properties — traditionally known to reduce body heat and calm inflammation.

The king of Tamil oils — nallennai has been the backbone of Tamil cooking, medicine, and wellness for centuries.

For Cooking:
Use for tempering, traditional curries, rasam, and sambar. The bold flavour is what makes Tamil food taste like Tamil food.

For Pickles:
The traditional base for all Tamil pickles. Adds depth, preserves naturally, and holds flavour for months.

For Oil Bath (Nallennai Bath):
Warm the oil and apply generously from head to toe. Leave for 15–30 minutes. Bathe with warm water. A weekly Tamil tradition for health and relaxation.

For Baby Massage:
Warm slightly and gently massage on baby's body. Strengthens bones and improves blood circulation.

Storage:
Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. No refrigeration needed.

We don't cut corners. Every batch of Regai Sesame Oil starts with carefully selected sesame seeds sourced from trusted Tamil farmers.

Wood-pressed the traditional chekku way. No heat processing. No chemical extraction. No refining. What comes out of the press is what goes into the bottle.

What you get is clean, honest oil — the same way it was made in your grandmother's kitchen. Just bottled for your convenience.

That's what makes Regai different. We don't manufacture food. We honour tradition and serve it to your family.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does sesame oil have a stronger smell compared to other oils?

Sesame oil naturally carries a bold aroma when traditionally prepared. This strong fragrance is a characteristic feature of authentic sesame oil, especially when extracted using wooden presses.

Is sesame oil suitable for everyday cooking or only special dishes?

It can be used daily, but many families prefer sesame oil for dishes where its flavour is traditionally expected, such as tempering, podi mixes, and festival cooking.

Why does traditional sesame oil look darker than refined oils?

The deeper colour comes from slow wooden pressing and the absence of refining. It reflects the natural characteristics of sesame seeds rather than processing.

Are any chemicals, preservatives, or artificial additives added?

No. Regai Cold Pressed Sesame Oil is prepared without chemical refining, preservatives, or artificial additives.

How should sesame oil be stored for best use?

Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Natural settling or slight variation in colour is normal for traditionally prepared oils.
