Who We Are
Pakao & Makhao
Two oils. One philosophy. Zero compromise.
Our Story
Pakao Makhao started with a simple frustration — mustard oil in Bangladesh had lost its identity. What was once a rich, aromatic, deeply traditional oil had been reduced to a commodity. Diluted. Deodorised. Disconnected from its roots.
We set out to bring it back. Not as a nostalgic experiment, but as a deliberate, quality-led product that honours the craft of cold-pressed mustard oil.
After months of sourcing, testing, and tasting, we found what we were looking for in Sirajganj — a generation-based family operation that grows, presses, and packages their own mustard. From seed to shelf, with nothing hidden in between.
“Good oil should never lose its story.”
— Pakao Makhao

What We Stand For
Cold-Pressed
Every drop is extracted through cold-pressing, preserving the natural aroma, flavor, and nutrition that heat would destroy.
Origin-Led
Our mustard comes from Sirajganj — a region known for producing some of the finest desi mustard in Bangladesh. We know exactly where it grows.
Small Batches
We produce in small, controlled batches. This means every bottle gets the attention it deserves — never rushed, never compromised.
No Middlemen
From field to finger, we own the entire process. No brokers, no dilution, no shortcuts. Just honest oil.
