Behind Every Bottle

Traditional Gaanuga
Pressing. Zero Heat.
Pure Nutrition.

"An oil is only as pure as the method that made it."

We don’t manufacture oil. We liberate it — slowly, patiently, the way it has been
done for 5,000 years on Indian soil. Every bottle of Feldnstein is a direct
consequence of restraint: no heat, no hexane, no industrial shortcuts.

Sourcing Integrity

It Starts
at the Farm.

"Before a single drop is pressed, the seed must earn its place."

Every Feldnstein oil begins with seeds sourced directly from local Indian farmers — pesticide-free, sun-dried, and hand-sorted. No commodity brokers, no cold-storage warehouses, no unknown origins.

We work with groundnut farmers from Andhra Pradesh, sesame growers from Rajasthan, safflower cultivators from Karnataka, and coconut copra producers from Tamil Nadu — communities growing oilseed crops for generations.

Direct Farmer Partnerships

No intermediaries. We visit farms, understand yields, and pay fair prices that sustain traditional agriculture.

Sun-Dried, Never Oven-Processed

Traditional sun-drying preserves the seed's enzymatic structure — critical for oil clarity, flavour, and shelf stability.

Screened Before Pressing

Every batch is tested for pesticide residues and aflatoxin before it enters our facility. If it doesn't pass, it doesn't get pressed.

Indian States, Our Farms

"Raw, unroasted seeds retain their full tocopherols, essential fatty acids, and micronutrients. By the time a seed enters our press, it has been touched only by sunlight, air, and human hands."

The Extraction

Four Steps. One Unbroken Promise.

From seed to sealed glass — every step is a deliberate act of restraint. No heat,
no chemicals, no compromise. This is the Feldnstein method.
1 STEP ONE

Naturally Sourced

Handpicked, pesticide-free seeds arrive directly from partner farmers — sun-dried, batch-labelled, and screened before pressing.

  • Direct farm procurement, zero brokers
  • Aflatoxin & pesticide screened on arrival
  • Stored in dry, temperature-controlled rooms
01
2 STEP TWO

Ancient Gaanuga Pressing

A bull rotates a heavy granite stone in a slow, patient circle. Immense pressure, zero heat — the stone liberates oil without breaking a single fatty-acid chain.

  • Bull-driven stone mill, no motor or electricity
  • Rotates at <10 RPM — zero friction heat
  • First press only, never re-extracted
02
3 STEP THREE

Natural Sedimentation

Raw pressed oil rests undisturbed in sealed vessels for 48–72 hours. Gravity draws fine sediment to the bottom naturally — no centrifuge, no bleaching, no deodorising agents.

  • 48–72 hr gravity sedimentation
  • Zero chemical flocculants or bleaching earths
  • Natural colour & aroma fully preserved
03
4 STEP FOUR

Eco-Friendly Glass Bottling

Settled oil is sealed immediately into UV-protective dark glass bottles — the only material that doesn't leach plasticisers or alter the oil's flavour over time.

  • Dark-glass UV protection, no plastic
  • Batch-coded & dated at point of bottling
  • Shipped within 7 days of pressing

The Quality Mandate

Four Standards We Will
Never Compromise.

These are not marketing promises — they are non-negotiable conditions every Feldnstein product
must satisfy before it leaves our facility.

100% Raw & Unrefined

Our oils leave the press unbleached and undeodorised, with the full spectrum of fatty acids, tocopherols, and plant sterols intact. What the seed contains, the oil contains.

Zero Hexane & Solvents

Industrial oils use petroleum-derived hexane to maximise yield. Every trace of residual solvent is a documented health risk. Feldnstein uses none — ever. Our yield is lower; our oil is safer.

Rigorous Lab Testing

Every batch goes to an NABL-accredited laboratory for peroxide value, acid value, moisture content, pesticide residues, and aflatoxin screening before any product is approved for sale.

Safe Glass Storage Only

Oils in plastic leach BPA and phthalates over time. We package exclusively in dark-glass, food-grade bottles that preserve oil integrity from bottling to your kitchen shelf.
