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 Cold Pressed Sesame Oil is prepared from carefully selected sesame seeds using traditional wooden marachekku presses. The slow pressing method brings out the oil’s natural aroma, deep colour, and distinctive flavour that has long been associated with Tamil kitchens. Rooted in culinary heritage, this sesame oil reflects the way it has been trusted and used in everyday cooking and special recipes across generations.

Sesame oil is chosen when flavour matters. Because of its strong aroma and bold taste, Regai Sesame Oil is commonly used in dishes like idli podi, tempering, festival sweets, and traditional gravies. Its flavour carries through the dish rather than disappearing, which is why it is often reserved for recipes that call for authenticity rather than neutral oil. Prepared the traditional way, it brings familiarity and confidence to everyday Tamil cooking as well as special occasion meals.

Traditionally used for tempering, podi mixes, curries, sweets, and festival cooking where sesame flavour is expected. Many households alternate sesame oil with other cooking oils depending on the dish being prepared.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always keep the container tightly closed after use.

Regai Cold Pressed Sesame Oil is made from premium sesame seeds sourced from trusted Tamil Nadu farmers and extracted using traditional wooden marachekku methods. The focus is on honest sourcing, slow extraction, and preserving the oil’s natural aroma, colour, and taste without shortcuts or chemical refining. This makes Regai Sesame Oil a reliable choice for families who value traditional flavour and consistent quality.
