From India’s Walnut Valleys to the World: A Women-Led Journey in Wood-Pressed Walnut Oil

Before it ever reaches a table in Dubai, Berlin or Singapore, every drop of Valley Treasure begins in a quiet mountain valley in India. Here, walnut orchards have been part of the landscape and of local livelihoods for generations. Founded in New Delhi by Veenu Kaher, Valley Treasure is a women-led enterprise with one clear purpose: to bring premium wood-pressed walnut oil from India to tables around the world.

As Gourmet Partner of Diplomatic Nite 2026, Valley Treasure invites the diplomatic and business community to discover an Indian product made to international standards and ready for the global market.

Why walnut oil deserves a place on every table

Walnut oil has been valued in European kitchens for centuries, and today more people around the world are discovering what it offers.

• Plant omega-3: Walnut oil is one of the richest plant sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the plant form of omega-3. A tablespoon of walnut oil contains about fourteen times more ALA than a tablespoon of olive oil.
• Good fats: Most of its fat is polyunsaturated, and it is naturally low in saturated fat.
• Natural antioxidants: Walnut oil contains natural vitamin E and plant polyphenols, which help protect the body’s cells.
• Everyday wellness: As part of a balanced diet, walnut oil supports heart and brain wellness, which makes it a natural choice for people who want to eat well without giving up flavour.
• For skin: Walnut oil has long been used in traditional care as a gentle, nourishing oil for the skin.

Why wood-pressed makes the difference

How an oil is made matters as much as what it is made from. Many commercial oils are extracted with high heat or chemical solvents and then refined, which can strip away flavour and nutrients. Valley Treasure follows the traditional method of wood pressing instead. Walnut kernels are pressed slowly in a wood press, at low temperature and without solvents, chemicals or refining.

This patient process helps retain the oil’s natural nutrients, its soft golden colour and its delicate, nutty aroma. Nothing is added and nothing is taken away. The oil is filled into glass bottles to keep it pure and fresh.

One origin. One harvest. One promise. Every bottle of Valley Treasure is of single-source origin, drawn from select walnut orchards in India’s mountain valleys and never blended with walnuts from anywhere else. What you taste is the true character of one place, with a purity you can trace from orchard to bottle.

A finishing oil for the modern kitchen

Valley Treasure walnut oil is a finishing oil, meant to be enjoyed raw rather than heated. A few drops over a salad, a bowl of grains, roasted vegetables, soup, hummus or warm bread add depth and a gentle nutty note. It also blends beautifully into smoothies and desserts. For chefs, hotels and home cooks alike, it is a simple way to add both flavour and nutrition to a dish.

A women-led enterprise, built for the world

Valley Treasure was founded by Veenu Kaher with a belief that pure, natural food should be honest about what it is and how it is made. From its very first day, the company was built with the world in mind. Rather than adding quality systems later, it invested early in the certifications that international buyers expect.

Valley Treasure is certified to international food safety and quality standards, including HACCP and ISO 9001:2015, and is registered with APEDA, India’s agricultural export authority. For a young enterprise, this reflects a clear commitment: every bottle should meet global standards of safety, quality and consistency.

As a women-led business, Valley Treasure stands among a new generation of Indian women entrepreneurs who are taking India’s finest produce to the world, with uncompromising standards and a story worth sharing. Its work also supports the walnut-growing communities of India’s valleys and showcases the traditional knowledge of wood pressing to a wider audience.

Taking Indian walnut oil to the global market

Around the world, people are looking for food that is natural, plant-based, clean-label and traceable to its source. Single-source, wood-pressed walnut oil from India answers each of these needs. Valley Treasure is now opening conversations with importers, distributors, gourmet retailers, hotels and restaurants in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

The company supplies finished, branded products in premium glass bottles, along with luxury gift hampers that pair the oil with premium walnut kernels. These hampers are well suited to corporate, festive and diplomatic gifting, and offer a refined way to share a taste of India.

Valley Treasure warmly welcomes enquiries from missions, trade and commercial officers, chambers of commerce and business partners who wish to bring authentic Indian walnut oil to their markets.
