Chekku oil is the oil which is manufactured by the traditional method by using the wooden chekku (also known as Marachekku in Tamil). The oil is not heated during the manufacturing process, hence it contains the original nutrition and flavours. 

The oil prepared by this process were the ones that gave strength, stamina and long life to our Ancestors. Pure cold-pressed oil is not refined. It is also rich in antioxidants, which boosts immunity.

Cold Pressed oils reduces the form of toxins in blood stream and the risk of becoming a host to disease. They retain healthy anti-oxidants that are otherwise destroyed by heat. these anti-oxidants fight harmful free radicals and prevents the growth of tumours.
