Heera Sesame Oil (Gingerly Oil) β Traditional Cold-Pressed Sesame Oil 1 Litre
Rich, toasty, and deeply nutty β Heera Gingerly Sesame Oil is a traditional cold-pressed oil that has been a cornerstone of South Indian and Sri Lankan cooking for centuries. Made from pure sesame seeds with no additives or blending, it carries a bold, warm aroma and a distinctive flavour that no other oil can replicate.
Known as gingerly oil across South India, Tamil Nadu, and Sri Lanka, this is the cooking oil of choice for tempering, pickling, deep frying, and everyday South Indian cuisine. The generous 1 litre bottle makes it ideal for households that cook with it regularly.
What is Gingerly Oil?
Gingerly oil is the traditional South Indian name for cold-pressed sesame oil β darker, more flavourful, and more aromatic than the refined sesame oil used in East Asian cooking. It is pressed from raw sesame seeds without heat treatment, preserving the natural nutrients, antioxidants, and deep toasty flavour that make it so prized in South Indian kitchens.

Why Choose Cold-Pressed Sesame Oil?
Cold-pressing preserves the natural lignans, vitamin E, and antioxidants in sesame seeds that are destroyed during refining. Heera's gingerly oil is pure and unblended, meaning every drop delivers the full nutritional and flavour benefit of the sesame seed.
