The crude mustard oil is dark brown in colour with a pungent odor. Refined mustard oil is used mainly for cooking as it is slightly more viscous and has a lower saponification value and a higher refractive index compared to other vegetable oils. Mustard Oil is obtained using cold press method which means the oil is extracted from the seeds by pressing the seeds at normal temperatures till they spill out oil.
The oil is produced by crushing the seeds or by grinding them, then mixing them with water and distilling them. The white mustard generates a yellowish coloured, pungent oil, whereas the black mustard produces a lighter coloured and stronger tasting oil. Direct pressing the seeds yields a simple mustard oil preparation. This produces a mustard oil with a strong flavour. Crushing the seeds and then separating the oil is another way to make mustard oil. Mustard oil and meal are produced by both extraction methods. When mustard seeds are processed in a mustard oil plant, a by-product is created in the form of seed pressed cakes, which contain very little oil. These cakes from the distillation process are used to make oil cakes, which are then fed to animals. The oil cake is left over after the production process provides 37% oil.

Olive oil has been linked to the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease, digestive disorders, diabetes, and cellular oxidation in recent scientific studies. Olive oil's major component, oleic acid, raises good cholesterol (HDL) levels by transporting bad cholesterol deposited in arteries to the liver, where it is eliminated, lowering the risk of arterial thrombosis and heart attacks. Olive oil also helps to remove free radicals and strengthen the cell membrane due to its high presence of POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANTS such as sterols, tocopherols, and vitamins (particularly vitamin E). It is extremely beneficial to consume during childhood and old age. We provide all types of organic olive oil: extra virgin, virgin, and also refined and pure organic olive oil
