Purity you can check
Product authentication
Every pack carries its own proof. Here is what to look for, what each mark means, and how to confirm it with us.
On every pack
What to check on your pack
Press date
The day this oil was pressed, printed on the pack. Freshness you can see rather than take on trust, the closer to it, the brighter the aroma.
Where: On the bottle label, near the batch code.
FSSAI licence number
The food-safety licence under which this oil is made and sold. It ties the pack to a real, registered kitchen.
Where: Printed on the pack and in the footer of this site.
Organic certification
The mark that the seed was organically grown and the oil unrefined, not just described that way. Purity you can check.
Where: On the pack, alongside the certification details.
Batch code
The code for this one press run. It keeps your bottle traceable to a single pressing rather than a blend of unknowns.
Where: On the bottle label, next to the press date.

Trust your senses
Spotting the real thing
Before any code, your eyes and nose tell you a lot. A genuine cold-pressed yellow mustard oil gives itself away.
Deep golden colour
A real cold-pressed mustard oil carries a natural golden colour straight from the seed. Refined oils strip it away, we leave it in.
Sharp, pungent aroma
That nose-tickling pungency is the sign the oil is unrefined. It is the seed you are smelling, not a flat, deodorised commodity oil.
Mellows on heat
The pungency softens the moment the oil meets a hot kadhai, and its high smoke point is why Indian kitchens have cooked with it for generations.
Something not adding up?
If a pack looks or smells off, or a marker does not match, tell us. We would rather hear about it and make it right.
