Pickles are more than just a condiment in Indian homes they are memories bottled with flavor. From tangy lemon to spicy mango, each variety tells a story.
But in today’s world of mass production, even something as traditional as Mango Pickle has changed. The difference lies not just in the ingredients but in the oil used to make it.
Most commercial pickles are made using refined oils, while traditional ones like Arth Agro Farms Mango Pickle use wood pressed mustard oil, extracted slowly and naturally.
Let’s uncover what this difference really means for your taste buds and your health.
What Are Refined Oil Pickles?
Refined oil pickles are mass-produced using oils that undergo heavy chemical processing.
During refining, oils are bleached, deodorized, and stripped of their natural nutrients to extend shelf life and improve texture.
While refined oil pickles may look glossy and last longer, they often lose the authentic aroma and health benefits that real homemade achar offers.
Worse, they can contain additives and preservatives that reduce the natural probiotic benefits of traditional pickles.
In short they may be convenient, but they’re far from pure.
What Makes Wood Pressed Oil Pickles Different?
Wood pressed oil, also called wood ghani oil, is extracted slowly at low temperatures using a traditional wooden churner.
This gentle process retains the natural vitamins, antioxidants, and flavor compounds of mustard oil, without any chemicals or heat.
When used in pickles, wood pressed oil:
-
Acts as a natural preservative
-
Enhances the taste and aroma
-
Maintains digestive health through natural enzymes
-
Keeps the pickle’s color and freshness intact for months
That’s why Arth Agro Farms Mango Pickle tastes so authentic every batch is handcrafted with pure wood pressed mustard oil, farm-fresh raw mangoes, and sun-cured spices.
Flavor That Tells a Story
A pickle made in refined oil might feel heavy or greasy, while one made in wood pressed oil has a balanced, earthy taste and a natural sharpness that defines true Indian achar.
The difference becomes clear when you open the jar the aroma of real spices and mustard oil hits instantly, a scent refined oil can never recreate.
Health and Purity — The Real Win
Refined oil pickles might score on convenience, but wood pressed oil pickles win on purity and nutrition.
