Cold Pressed Almond Oil - Badam Ka Tel

Badam ka tel, or cold-pressed almond oil, is pressed slowly from whole almonds using a wooden kolhu, keeping the pale gold colour and faint sweet aroma that a fast, heat-driven extraction tends to remove. This wood-pressed almond oil involves no added heat, no chemical solvents, just mechanical pressure doing the work a mill would otherwise rush through.

• Light, fast-absorbing texture suited to face and body use without a heavy residue

• Retains vitamin E and natural fatty acids, since the slow press avoids heat that breaks these down

• A genuine almond oil aroma and colour, both signs that little was altered along the way

• Suitable for daily use on skin and hair, or a gentle baby massage after a patch test

Made in India. Store away from direct sunlight and heat to keep it at its best.

How to Use

• For Tempering: Heat until it begins to smoke, then let it cool slightly before adding spices, a traditional step that mellows its raw sharpness.
• For Deep Frying: Its high smoke point makes it a solid choice for pakoras, puris, and other fried snacks.
• For Pickling: Its natural antibacterial properties have made it a long-standing choice for preserving vegetables without added preservatives.
• For Massage: Warmed slightly, a small amount is traditionally massaged into joints for its natural warming effect.
