FORTUNE KACHI GHANI OIL 5 L

Description

A ghani is the traditional press, a heavy pestle turning in a wooden mortar, and kachi means raw or uncooked. Put together the phrase describes seed crushed without heat, which is slower and yields less oil than industrial extraction and is exactly why the oil that comes out still smells of the seed it came from.

Five litres is a catering or a large household quantity, and the practical advice is to decant. Keep a small bottle by the hob and the can shut in a dark cupboard, because every time a big container is opened the oil inside meets more air. Used that way a five litre can holds its pungency to the bottom; left open on a warm shelf it will not.

Is this the same oil as the one litre bottle? Yes, the same cold pressed mustard oil in a larger can. Only the container and the price per litre change.

Will five litres go stale before I finish it? Not if you decant. Keep the can closed in a dark cupboard and refill a small bottle for daily use, and the oil at the bottom will be as good as the oil at the top.

If you have not cooked with it before, start with a one litre bottle to try first, and browse mustard oil alongside the other cooking oils. Vegetarian. Keep the bottle capped in a cool, dark cupboard, because light and heat are what turn a cooking oil stale.
