Nellore — Heritage and Identity
Nellore sits on the banks of the Penna river in southern Andhra Pradesh, 175 km north of Chennai. It is famous across India for its prawn aquaculture — Nellore prawns are exported worldwide. The city has a proud Telugu identity shaped by the Vijayanagara empire, the Nizam's influence, and a strong agricultural and fishing economy.
Nellore's cuisine is among the spiciest in India. Nellore chepala pulusu (fish curry) is legendary — a fiery tamarind-based broth that defines the city's food identity. Sesame oil (nalla ennai) and groundnut oil are the traditional cooking fats, used in everything from prawn fry to gongura pachadi. The food is bold, sour, and intensely flavoured.
Nellore's dishes that use coconut oil
Coconut is integral to Nellore's coastal cuisine. Cold-press coconut oil gives the city's coconut-based chutneys and festival preparations their authentic tropical sweetness.
Known locally as: Kobbari nune
Why cold pressed — not refined
No heat, no chemicals. The oil retains its natural nutrients, aroma, and flavour exactly as nature intended.
Refined oil uses hexane to extract every last drop. Cold press uses only mechanical pressure — nothing else touches the oil.
Omega fatty acids, vitamin E, antioxidants, and natural phytochemicals — all destroyed by refining, all preserved by cold press.

What nutrition experts say about cold pressed oils
"Virgin cold pressed coconut oil contains lauric acid, which the body converts to monolaurin — a compound with documented antimicrobial properties. The medium-chain triglycerides in cold pressed coconut oil are metabolised differently from long-chain fats and provide rapid energy."
Dr. Shikha Sharma

On cold pressed vs refined edible oils in Indian diets
"Cold pressed coconut oil has been a staple in Kerala and coastal Indian cooking for centuries. The traditional wisdom is now backed by research showing that the MCT profile of virgin coconut oil supports metabolic health differently from refined coconut oil or hydrogenated vanaspati."
Dr. Rupali Datta
Chief Clinical Nutritionist
Fortis Healthcare, New Delhi
On traditional Indian cooking oils and modern nutritional science
ICMR Dietary Guidelines for Indians (2024): The Indian Council of Medical Research recommends using traditional cold pressed oils (kachi ghani) as part of a balanced Indian diet. The guidelines specifically note that cold pressed mustard oil, sesame oil, and groundnut oil retain their natural fatty acid profiles and micronutrients, making them preferable to refined and hydrogenated alternatives.

Lauric acid and medium-chain triglycerides: metabolic effects
2010National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) / PubMed
Lauric acid (47.5% of coconut oil) is converted to monolaurin in the body, which has documented antimicrobial properties. Medium-chain triglycerides are metabolised directly in the liver, providing rapid energy without fat storage.
