About us

Rooted in the field, pressed with care.

KERNEL & PRESS is the brand of Kernel and Press Pvt Ltd — a new cold-pressed oil maker from India, launching in January 2027.

Our story

Oil the way it used to be made.

We source seeds from farms and farmer markets, clean them carefully, and press them in an expeller with no external heat or steam. The oil is filtered through 42 plates of fresh cotton cloth, left to settle in large conical tanks and sealed in tin.

Every step happens in our own unit, so we know exactly what goes into each tin — and we’re happy to tell you.

What we stand for

Three promises.

Honest process

We explain every step, from sourcing to sealing — nothing hidden.

Quality at every stage

Cleaning, pressing, two-stage filtration, settling and accurate filling — each done with care.

Made in India

An Indian company pressing seeds bought from Indian farms and farmer markets.
