Heritage in every jar
Hand-Packed. Cold-Pressed. Three Generations Old.
At The Flavor Bag, every jar of Mango Thokku is made the way our grandmother made it — cold-pressed gingelly oil, rock salt, and patience. No industrial machines. No shortcuts. Small batches, prepared in our kitchen, sealed at peak flavour.
Cold-pressed gingelly oil
Traditional choice — preserves naturally, adds depth without overpowering the ingredient.
Zero preservatives
Rock salt and gingelly oil are the only preservatives we need. Exactly as the original recipe intended.
Three generations
Same ratios, same method. The recipe hasn’t changed because it doesn’t need to.
Frequently asked questions
How long do your pickles last once opened?
Refrigerate after opening and consume within 30–45 days for best flavour. Unopened, they stay fresh for 18 months from the date of manufacture.
What oil do you use in your pickles?
Cold-pressed gingelly oil (sesame oil) — the traditional choice for South Indian pickles. It preserves naturally and adds depth of flavour without overpowering the ingredient.
Do your pickles contain preservatives or vinegar?
No. We use no vinegar, no artificial preservatives, and no refined oils. Rock salt and gingelly oil are the only preservatives — the same way it’s been done for generations.
Do I need to refrigerate before opening?
No refrigeration needed before opening. Store in a cool, dry place. Always use a dry spoon to avoid moisture entering the jar.
