Mamra Almond Oil
Size: 100 ml Almond oil sourced from Kashmiri almonds is extracted using a traditional method that relies on bull-driven oil mills, known locally as ghaana, chekku, kachi ghani, or ganuga. This process is renowned for its adherence to natural principles and the preservation of nutritional quality. Extraction Process The almond oil extraction process begins with the selection of high-quality almonds from Kashmir. These almonds are processed using a traditional setup consisting of a large mortar and pestle made from Vaaghe wood (Albizza odaritissma). The pestle, which is driven by bulls at a remarkably slow speed of 2-3 rotations per minute (rpm), grinds the almonds into a fine paste. Advantages of Bull-Driven Method This ultra-slow extraction method is preferred over modern cold-pressed techniques for several reasons: Retention of Nutritional Value: The slow grinding process ensures that the oil retains a higher concentration of micro-nutrients, trace elements, and antioxidants presen
