Many of us believe that once we bring oil home, transferring it from a plastic pouch into a steel or glass container makes it safe. It feels like the right thing to do. It feels like protection.
But the truth is, it’s already too late
Purity is not something that can be repaired after exposure. It is something that must be protected from the very beginning.
Once oil is stored in plastic, it begins a slow, silent interaction with heat, light, and the surface that contains it. Over time, this can affect its natural aroma, taste, and nutritional strength. What looks unchanged to the eye may already be compromised at a deeper level.
You cannot reverse that by simply changing the container at home.
Where Chekko’s Story Truly Began
Chekko was born from this simple yet powerful realization.
We saw how everyday families, with the best intentions, were unknowingly compromising their health, trusting oils that had already spent weeks or months inside plastic before reaching their kitchens. The oil was shifted into steel jars at home, but its first and most vulnerable phase had already passed.
That is where our responsibility began.
We did not want our customers to worry about what they could not see. We did not want them to question whether their oil carried hidden traces of plastic, chemicals, or oxidation. We wanted them to experience oil the way it was meant to be pure, safe, and untouched.
Why the First Container Matters the Most
The first container an oil touches is the most important one. It defines its safety, stability, and shelf life. When oil meets plastic during storage, transport, and retail display, it is exposed to:
- Heat from warehouses and transit
- Sunlight on open shelves
- Slow chemical interaction with packaging
These changes happen quietly. There is no warning sign. No visible alarm. Only a gradual loss of what made the oil wholesome in the first place.
At Agamahil, this truth reshaped how we looked at packaging forever.
Choosing Purity From Day One
That is why Chekko oils are packed only in food-grade metal tins right from the moment they leave the wooden press. Not later. Not after retail. From the very beginning.
Because purity does not come from fixing things in the kitchen.
It comes from doing things right at the source.
Avoiding plastic is not a trend for us. It is a conscious, disciplined choice made every single day, for every single batch.
Purity cannot Be Retouched.
In a world that constantly tries to “fix” things later, we believe in protecting things early. Especially food. Especially oil.
Purity isn’t something you can add back.
It isn’t something you can transfer.
And it isn’t something you can correct once it’s lost.
It either exists from day one. Or it doesn’t.
Our Choice Is Clear
- We chose purity over plastic.
- We chose safety over shortcuts.
- We chose responsibility over convenience.
Because real care begins before the product even reaches your home.
And the question we leave you with is not about containers in your kitchen. But about the choices made long before that.
Have you ever wondered what your oil goes through before it reaches your shelf?
