Bhutanese Organic Groundnut Oil (500ml)

Cold-Pressed Organic Groundnut Oil from the lush, terraced fields of Zobel Gewog, Pemagatshel, where altitudes range from 800 to 2400 meters and smallholder farmers cultivate the heritage groundnut that is the heart and soul of our Oil.

This is not the neutral, mass-produced peanut oil you find on supermarket shelves. It is a rich, nutty, aromatic oil with deep roasted peanut undertones and a flavor so pure it tastes like the Himalayan earth itself. We source our groundnuts from the Khamdhang and Trashi Gumba regions, working in close partnership with local farmer groups to ensure every nut is grown without chemicals or shortcuts.

Our process is simple and honest: we cold-press the whole groundnuts using traditional technology. No heat, no chemicals, no refining. The result is an unrefined, virgin oil that retains every molecule of its natural antioxidants, vitamins, and flavor compounds. It is, quite simply, groundnut oil as nature intended.

Produced by Bhutan Growers, a social enterprise founded by former teacher Chimi Wangmo, this oil is more than a cooking ingredient. It is a lifeline for rural communities. Every bottle supports sustainable farming, generates employment for over 76 youth and women in remote villages, and helps preserve Bhutan’s rich agricultural heritage.

How to enjoy this Himalayan treasure in Bangkok:

• The Traditional Bhutanese Way: Use it as the foundation for Ezay (Bhutanese chili condiments) and for tempering spices in Ema Datshi. It is also ideal for sautéing vegetables and finishing dishes.
• The Bangkok Twist – Stir-Fries & Curries: Its high smoke point (approx. 232°C) makes it perfect for high-heat stir-fries, curries, and deep-frying. The nutty aroma will elevate your pad thai, phad krapao, or tom yum to new heights.
• The Modern Way: Drizzle over salads, roasted vegetables, or grilled meats as a finishing oil. It also makes an excellent base for marinades, dips, and homemade mayonnaise.
• Straight from the Bottle: Use it as a dipping oil for crusty bread, or simply appreciate its pure, nutty flavor on a spoon.

Storage: Store in a cool, dark place. Best used within 8 months of opening. Always use clean utensils to keep every drop pure.
