Mustard Oil, pressed from Brassica juncea seeds, has been a fixture of South Asian kitchens for generations, that sharp, distinct edge when raw, and a deeper, nuttier warmth once it's been heated. It's not a subtle oil, and that's exactly the point; the flavor it brings to cooking is hard to replicate with anything more refined.
Yes, its flash point of 180-190°C makes it suitable for frying, tempering, and other high-heat cooking methods.
Mustard oil is the cold-pressed carrier oil used for cooking and topical use; mustard essential oil is a far more concentrated, steam-distilled extract used only in small, diluted amounts.
It's supplied in 200-litre drums, with documentation available for commercial and export buyers on request.
