Perfect for North Indian pickles, marinades, and stir-fries, this unrefined oil is made in small batches and left to naturally sediment, retaining its authentic taste and beneficial compounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!--story--\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"blk\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCold Pressed Mustard Oil — Pungent and Unrefined\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold pressed mustard oil, crushed from whole mustard seed without heat.
