Description

Fresh Cold Pressed Nigella Sativa Oil by Health Embassy is a traditionally crafted, small-batch oil obtained directly from high-quality Nigella Sativa Seeds. Produced using a cold pressing technique, this oil retains the natural profile of the seeds without the use of additives, filtration, or heat. Known for its characteristic aroma and strong, earthy flavour, this freshly pressed product offers versatility for both culinary and traditional external uses.

This product is delivered no older than two weeks from pressing and is hand-packed in dark glass jars to maintain freshness and protect it from light exposure. Nigella Sativa Oil has long been used in various cultural traditions, particularly across the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia, where it holds a long-established role in both kitchen use and customary applications.

Traditional Character and Freshness

Nigella sativa, often referred to as black cumin, black seed, or kalonji, has a long-standing presence in culinary and traditional practices. Health Embassy’s Fresh Cold Pressed Nigella Sativa Oil reflects this heritage through a process that prioritises freshness and authenticity.

To preserve its natural attributes, we press this oil in limited batches at regular intervals and store it under controlled conditions until dispatch. No chemical solvents or heat treatments are used at any stage. This unrefined, cold pressed method ensures that the resulting oil maintains the robust character, deep colour, and aromatic bitterness typical of freshly pressed Nigella Sativa seeds.

How To Use Nigella Sativa Oil

Fresh Cold Pressed Nigella Sativa Oil is suitable for culinary use in small amounts. Due to its bold and complex flavour, it is typically used as a finishing oil rather than a cooking oil. It is best used unheated, as high temperatures may alter its natural composition and aroma. A few drops can enhance the flavour of:

Cold salads and dressings
Hummus, tahini, and other seed-based dips
Flatbreads, naan, or other traditional baked goods
Steamed vegetables or grain bowls
Yogurt or labneh-based sauces
Smoothies or juice blends in minimal quantities

Nigella Sativa Oil can also be added to olive oil or other neutral oils to adjust its intensity, depending on individual taste preferences.

Suggested Blends and Pairings

Fresh Cold Pressed Nigella Sativa Oil combines well with other Health Embassy cold pressed oils and traditional ingredients. These combinations can be tailored to personal preference and usage context. Suggested blends include:

Fresh Cold Pressed Flaxseed Oil: to create a more balanced oil blend for dressings or cold toppings; mix with Fresh Cold Pressed Nigella Sativa Oil in a 1:1 ratio and drizzle over raw or steamed vegetables
Fresh Cold Pressed Evening Primrose Oil: suitable for traditional use in external applications; combine a few drops of each oil and apply to skin or scalp as part of a traditional care routine
Fresh Cold Pressed Coconut Oil: for preparing oil blends with a milder aroma and smoother texture; blend together in equal parts for external use or as a mild-flavoured topping
Milk Thistle Seeds Powder: for use in traditional-style mixtures or pastes, or as an addition to smoothies and yogurt with a few drops of oil
Nigella Sativa Seeds Powder: to complement the natural spice profile of the oil; mix with the oil and a small amount of warm water or honey to prepare a traditional-style paste

These combinations can be adjusted in ratio and use depending on flavour goals and traditional preferences. The strong taste of Nigella Sativa Oil makes it suitable for blending with gentler-tasting oils when a milder end result is desired.

External Use in Traditional Practices

It is commonly used in oil mixtures for massage, scalp applications, or as a base oil in personal care preparations.

A patch test is also recommended before first-time use.
