Thuuya Oils – Rooted in Tradition, Crafted with Care

Bringing the Goodness of Traditional Wood-Pressed Oils to Every Home

Every drop of oil has a story. At Thuuya Oils, our story begins with tradition, trust, and a passion for quality.

In today's fast-moving world, where convenience often takes priority, we believe some traditions are worth preserving.

For generations, Indian households have valued traditionally extracted oils for their distinctive aroma, rich flavour, and role in everyday cooking.

At Thuuya Oils, we celebrate this heritage through our range of wood-pressed oils, inspired by the age-old Marachekku method.

Our purpose is simple: to bring thoughtfully produced, traditional cooking oils into modern kitchens while helping families make informed choices about the food they use every day.

Our Story – A Return to Our Roots

Think back to the kitchens of our grandparents.

The comforting aroma of coconut oil, the distinctive flavour of sesame oil, and the familiar taste of traditional home-cooked meals were part of everyday life.

Cooking was not simply about preparing food. It was about family, culture, and the ingredients that made every meal special.

Inspired by these traditions, Thuuya Oils embraces the practice of traditional wood-pressed oil extraction.

We believe that traditional methods still have a meaningful place in modern food preparation when combined with careful ingredient selection, hygienic handling, and attention to quality.

Our journey is guided by a simple thought:

Good food begins with good ingredients. And good cooking oil begins with care.

The Thuuya Philosophy – Quality Begins at the Source

For us, quality is not defined by packaging alone.

It begins with understanding the raw materials used to produce each oil.

Whether it is copra for coconut oil, groundnuts for groundnut oil, or sesame seeds for sesame oil, the condition and handling of the ingredients matter.

Moisture control, proper storage, cleanliness, and suitable extraction practices can all influence the finished oil.

This is why we believe that every stage of oil production deserves attention.

Because the quality of what goes into the press matters just as much as the method of pressing.

Traditional Marachekku – A Heritage Worth Preserving

Marachekku, meaning wooden oil press in Tamil, is a traditional method of extracting oil using mechanical pressure.

Unlike oils that undergo extensive refining, traditionally wood-pressed oils can retain more of the characteristic aroma and flavour of their source ingredients.

Each oil has its own natural identity.

Coconut oil brings its familiar coconut aroma, sesame oil offers a distinctive nutty flavour, and groundnut oil adds its own character to everyday cooking.

At Thuuya Oils, we value the simplicity and culinary heritage of this traditional extraction method.

We believe that preserving tradition doesn't mean ignoring modern standards. It means respecting traditional knowledge while recognising the importance of cleanliness, proper handling, and responsible manufacturing.
