Premium Botanical Oil
Mahua Oil — Madhuca longifolia
Overview & Forest Sustenance
Mahua Oil (also named Madhuca longifolia or Bassia latifolia) is physically processed from the meaty kernels of Mahua trees. These trees grow in the rich dry deciduous forest ecosystem of central India. Bulchand Chhabaldas Oil Mill in Raipur mechanically expels Mahua seeds, generating a heavy, clear amber lipid fat that hardens into a rich butter structure in cool climates.
