The
oil is then passed through 18 chamber filter presses using
less that 50 PSI pressure. Once through the filer presses
the oil is passed through fine 5 micron cloth filters before
being locked away in drums or tanks for future bottling. All
bottling is done to order so there is no oil standing around
in the sunlight.
Pungent
oil is made by taking the meal-cake and passing it through
a number of Chinese expellers. In this process the meal is
aspirated to induce better bonding on the way through the
expellers. This process releases the glucosinaltes into the
oil thereby producing the rich pungent flavour so liked by
Indian communities.
The
whole process is kept very simple and at no time is any heat
used.
