Niscolt Mustard Oil: From Field to Feast—A Clean Journey

“Nothing connects the dots between tradition, taste, and wellbeing quite like mustard oil. In countless Indian homes, its piercing fragrance, bold flavor, and nutritious punch have, therefore, made it a kitchen essential. With Niscolt’s cold-pressed, additive-free mustard oil, you’re not just cooking — instead, you’re embracing heritage. So, are you curious about its transformation from tiny mustard seeds to your dining table’s golden seasoning? Then let’s dive deep into that journey, explore the different types of mustard oil, and understand why Niscolt truly stands apart.

From Soil to Seed: The Starting Point

• When it comes to chemical-free agriculture, we partner with small farmers who grow mustard using organic methods — importantly, without synthetic fertilizers or harmful pesticides.
• Selective sourcing: Only premium-grade yellow and black mustard seeds make it into our supply chain, ensuring consistent quality and flavor.

Cleaning & Drying: Preparing for Press

1. Multi-layer cleaning: Seeds pass through several sieves and air-jets, stripping away dirt, stones, and stubborn husks.
2. Natural sun drying: Before pressing, seeds spend a day under the sun to reduce moisture. The result? Longer shelf life and a fresher press yield.

Cold-Pressing (Kachchi Ghani): Capturing Nature’s Goodness

• For traditional extraction, we use hand-operated wooden or stone presses at low temperatures (below 45 °C). Consequently, this slow, gentle process protects delicate nutrients.
• Why it matters: High heat or solvent-based methods, on the other hand, strip away elements like Vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants. In contrast, our approach keeps them intact.

Settling & Filtering: Gentle Refinement

• Natural settling: Once the oil is pressed, it’s left to clarify, allowing any residue to gravitate downwards.
• Cloth filtration: We use clean, multi-layered cotton cloth—no chemical filters or bleaches—to achieve clarity without compromise.
• Aging in tankers: Stored in food-grade stainless steel, the oil matures over days. The process smooths its flavor and deepens the hue.

Bottling with Care

• BPA-free, recyclable bottles: We prioritize both quality and environmental impact, opting for eco-friendly packaging.

Tamper-evident seal and label: Each bottle carries batch info, manufacturing date, and expiry date—your assurance of freshness.
