Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this smell so much sharper than the mustard oil I usually buy?
That pungency is allyl isothiocyanate, released naturally when mustard seed is crushed without heat. Refined mustard oil is deodorised to remove it. A strong, sharp smell that catches at the back of the throat is the clearest sign the oil is genuinely cold pressed. Heating the oil to smoking point before cooking mellows it, which is the traditional practice in most Indian kitchens.
There is sediment at the bottom and the oil looks cloudy.
Cold pressed oil is unrefined and only lightly filtered, so fine seed particles settle over time and the oil can turn cloudy in cooler weather. Refined oils are perfectly clear because bleaching and filtering strip everything out, nutrition included. Shake gently before use, or let it warm to room temperature.
What is the difference between yellow and black mustard oil?
Yellow mustard seed gives a milder, rounder oil that suits everyday North Indian cooking, tadkas and sabzis. Black mustard seed is sharper and more pungent, traditionally preferred for Bengali cooking and for pickling. Same extraction method, different seed and a noticeably different intensity.
Can I cook with it on high heat?
Yes. Mustard oil has a high smoke point and is one of the more heat-stable traditional Indian cooking fats, which is why it has been used for frying and tempering for generations. The traditional technique of heating it until it just begins to smoke, then cooling slightly before adding ingredients, softens the raw pungency.
The colour is different from my last bottle.
Unrefined oil takes its colour from the seed, and that shifts with variety, harvest and season. Refined oils are colour-standardised to look identical every time. Ours are not, so bottles will vary from deep amber to lighter gold.
