The Telashay House
Telashay began in 1965 with mustard seed, a cold press and a small family-run mill. Three generations later, a lot around us has changed. The way we press our oil hasn't.
Our Story
Telashay did not begin as a brand. It began as a mill. In 1965, our grandfather started pressing mustard oil for the families around him, with one simple rule: buy good seed, clean it properly, press it slowly and put nothing into the oil that doesn't belong there. People came back because they knew what they were getting.
Years passed. The mill grew, the next generation joined, and the machines and testing got better. The job stayed the same: good mustard goes in, mustard oil comes out. Today the third generation is taking that oil beyond the towns that first knew us. Not to reinvent mustard oil, but to make sure the real thing still has a place in a modern kitchen.
Our Vision
For years, the people who bought from our mill lived close enough to know us. They knew where the oil came from, who pressed it, and where to find us with a question. As Telashay grows, we want to keep that same relationship, even when the bottle travels hundreds of kilometres from the mill: clear about our seed, how the oil is made, how it is tested and what is inside the bottle. Growth matters to us, but never more than the trust that lets us grow.
What We Stand For
Absolute Purity
Never diluted, never adulterated. What's on the label is exactly what's in the bottle.
Respect for Tradition
Pressed slowly and without added heat — the way three generations have done it.
Radical Transparency
NABL lab reports and full traceability, from a single-origin seed to the sealed cap.
Ethical & Cruelty-Free
Made mindfully and cruelty-free, with respect for every life along the way.
Gratitude & Giving Back
Before there is a bottle, there is a field. Before there is a press, there is a farmer. And before Telashay could reach kitchens across India, there was a town that supported our family's work for decades. We want Telashay's growth to mean something here too: long-term relationships with the people we buy from, work around the mill, and practical ways to give back to the community that has carried us for generations. We are still building that part of the story, and we intend to build it properly.
The Ledger
A single cold press is set up among the mustard fields. One family, one refusal to cut corners.
The founder’s sons take over the mill, holding the press below 50°C even as the industry turns to heat and solvents.
The house moves to a larger mill — same cold press, same temperature, more hands to run it.
The house passes to the third generation, and the three-level seed sorting process is written down formally for the first time.
The house starts testing its oil at an independent, NABL-accredited laboratory. Purity stops being a promise and becomes a document.
The same press, the same temperature, now traceable from single-origin seed to the bottle in your kitchen.
