Bulk Gingelly (Sesame) Oil Supply for South Indian Catering Businesses

Reliable Cold-Pressed Gingelly Oil for High-Volume South Indian Kitchens

South Indian catering runs on gingelly oil. From idli podi and milagai podi to pickles, thokku, kuzhambu tempering, and festival sweets, the flavour of a traditional menu depends on the quality of the oil in the kitchen. For caterers, wedding kitchens, temple annadhanam units, mess operators and tiffin centres, the challenge is not just finding good oil. It is getting the same quality, in the right pack size, at a predictable price, every single week.

Indaw Fresh is an Indian wholesale supplier and exporter of traditional and natural food ingredients, with more than 8 years of customer relationships across the food and catering trade. Our cold pressed gingelly (sesame) oil is wood-pressed using the traditional chekku (kachi ghani) method, without chemical solvents, bleaching or refining, so the natural aroma, colour and nutty depth of true nallennai stay intact.

Why South Indian Caterers Buy Gingelly Oil from Indaw Fresh
