Hassan is two kitchens in one district. Go east towards Arsikere, Channarayapatna and Hole Narasipur and the food is maidan food — ragi mudde, soppu saaru, jolada rotti on some tables, and a lot of frying. Go west towards Sakleshpur, Belur and Alur and you are in Malnad, where coconut does most of the work and the coffee estates start. The oil shelf has to cover both, and in most Hassan households it does.
We press cold pressed oils in Karnataka from seed bought directly from Karnataka farmers, and deliver across Hassan district — the city itself, and out to Arsikere, Channarayapatna, Hole Narasipur, Arkalgud, Belur, Alur and Sakleshpur.
Which oil suits Hassan cooking
An honest map rather than a sales list.
- Potato palya, bondas, vadas, chakli, a festival fry. Cold pressed groundnut oil (kadalekai enne). Hassan grows a great deal of the state's potato, and groundnut oil is the most forgiving oil we make for a long, hot fry.
- Malnad cooking in the western taluks — kadubu, akki rotti, a coconut-based palya. Cold pressed coconut oil (kobbari enne). Where the masala is already coconut, an unrefined coconut oil sits inside the flavour instead of arguing with it.
- Oggarane, uppinakayi, anything where the tempering should carry. Cold pressed sesame oil (ellenne). The smell is the whole point of it.
- Everyday cooking where the vegetable should lead. Cold pressed sunflower oil or safflower oil (kusube enne) — both mild, both content to stay in the background.
- Hair and skin. Cold pressed castor oil (haralenne), diluted with coconut oil rather than used neat.
- The pooja room. Deepam oil for daily lamps, for Deepavali and Karthika masa, and for households that keep a lamp for Hassanamba, Shravanabelagola or the Belur and Halebidu temples.
If you are weighing one against another, which oil for which dish goes through it properly, and which oil for which job covers the whole range in one place.

Why you can check us rather than trust us
Our FSSAI licence number is 1122632300006, printed on every label and verifiable on the FSSAI FoSCoS portal — we have written up how to do that. Seed is bought directly from Karnataka farmers and crushed slowly in a wooden gaana at low temperature. No hexane, no bleaching, no deodorising, no preservatives, no blending — the full list of what we will not do is public. Our range is rated 4.65 out of 5 across more than 8,600 customer reviews.
Because the oil is unrefined it looks darker, smells stronger and can leave a little sediment. That is normal, and we explain exactly why.
Elsewhere in Karnataka
We deliver to all thirty-one districts. See delivery across Karnataka, or the pages for Mysuru, Bengaluru, Shivamogga, Mandya and Mangaluru.
Frequently asked questions
Do you deliver cold pressed oil to Hassan?
Yes — to Hassan city and across the district, including Arsikere, Channarayapatna, Hole Narasipur, Arkalgud, Belur, Alur and Sakleshpur.
How long does delivery to Hassan take?
Orders are packed in 2–3 business days. After that, free delivery takes 7–14 days, standard (₹49) takes 3–7 days and express (₹99) takes 1–3 days.
Which oil should I use for potato bonda and vada?
Groundnut oil. It is high in monounsaturated fat, which makes it relatively heat stable, so it holds up to a long fry better than a light seed oil will.
Which oil suits Malnad cooking in Sakleshpur and Belur?
Coconut oil for most of it — kadubu, akki rotti and coconut-based palya. Keep groundnut oil for frying and sesame oil for tempering and pickles.
How do I pay?
All orders are prepaid, paid online at checkout.
Is the oil FSSAI certified?
Yes. Licence 1122632300006, printed on every label and verifiable on the FSSAI FoSCoS portal.
